Hey, I'm also having a problem with my custom kernel.
After the #cd ../compile/mykernel (some say newkernel) the make depend commando fails. It tells me that it's missing a header file, I think it was called miibus or something. And the installation aborts. Any ideas?
I'm also using the FreeBSD 5.3 release, I tried to reinstall all the packages already.
Hi !
Well... I do have an ideea
miibus is required for some network cards to work. On the original GENERIC file you can find something like this:
Probably when you "customized" your kernel for compilation, you deleted the "device miibus" line, but you leaved support for some network card that requires miibus. Try to insert the "device miibus" line in your file. It will probably work without any problems...
Good luck !
We are installing a PrismII chipset wireless PCMCIA card with a new 2.4.9 linux kernel. The card is a D-Link DWL-650. The 2.4.9 kernel uses the orinoco_cs.o driver.
Anyone running this configuration?

hi all!
i have developed a mechanism in system.c to count how many times each kernel call is called. The results are held in an array in system.c . What i want to do is to create a new kernel call which will print this array. I need help in passing the array from system.c to the new kernel call. ... (5 Replies)
Hi All,
Is there a max number of slabs that can be used per kernel module? I'm having a tough time finding out that kind of information, but the array 'node_zonelists' (mmzone.h) has a size of 5. I just want to avoid buffer overruns and other bad stuff.
Cheers,

Hi gurus
Could anybody tell me which file is read by kernel to set its default system kernal parameters values in solaris. Here I am not taking about /etc/system file which is used to load kernal modules or to change any default system kernal parameter value
Is it /dev/kmem file or something... (1 Reply)

kdassertmsg
KASSERT(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual KASSERT(9)NAME
KASSERT, KASSERTMSG, KDASSERT, KDASSERTMSG -- kernel expression verification macros
SYNOPSIS
void
KASSERT(expression);
void
KASSERTMSG(expression, format, ...);
void
KDASSERT(expression);
void
KDASSERTMSG(expression, format, ...);
DESCRIPTION
These machine independent assertion-checking macros cause a kernel panic(9) if the given expression evaluates to false. Two compile-time
options(4) define the behavior of the checks.
1. The KASSERT() and KASSERTMSG() tests are included only in kernels compiled with the DIAGNOSTIC configuration option. In a kernel that
does not have this configuration option, the macros are defined to be no-ops.
2. The KDASSERT() and KDASSERTMSG() tests are included only in kernels compiled with the DEBUG configuration option. The KDASSERT() and
KASSERT() macros are identical except for the controlling option (DEBUG vs DIAGNOSTIC). Basically, KASSERT() should be used for
light-weight checks and KDASSERT() should be used for heavier ones.
Callers should not rely on the side effects of expression because, depending on the kernel compile options mentioned above, expression might
not be evaluated at all.
The panic message will display the style of assertion (debugging vs. diagnostic), the expression that failed and the filename, and line num-
ber the failure happened on. The KASSERTMSG() and KDASSERTMSG() macros append to the panic(9) format string the message specified by format
and its subsequent arguments, similar to printf(9) functions.

These macros were written by Chris G. Demetriou <cgd@netbsd.org>.
