How to convert a partition usin 64 bits kernel to 32 bits kernel?
Hello there:
I know that exist a procedure to convert an OS using 32bits kernel to 64 bits kernel. But, exist a procedure to convert an OS using 64bits to 32 bits kernel?
Please help me.

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to change 24 bits depth display to 8 bits depth display for Sun Ultra1, running Solaris 8? THANKS in advance. I think that the command is ffbconfig, but it has nothing about depth. (4 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)

INTRO(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual INTRO(9)
NAME
intro -- introduction to system kernel interfaces
DESCRIPTION
This section contains information about the interfaces and subroutines in the kernel.
PROTOTYPES ANSI-C AND ALL THAT
Yes please.
We would like all code to be fully prototyped.
If your code compiles cleanly with cc -Wall we would feel happy about it. It is important to understand that this isn't a question of just
shutting up cc, it is a question about avoiding the things it complains about. To put it bluntly, don't hide the problem by casting and
other obfuscating practices, solve the problem.
INDENTATION AND STYLE
Believe it or not, there actually exists a guide for indentation and style. It isn't generally applied though.
We would appreciate if people would pay attention to it, and at least not violate it blatantly.
We don't mind it too badly if you have your own style, but please make sure we can read it too.
Please take time to read style(9) for more information.
NAMING THINGS
Some general rules exist:
1. If a function is meant as a debugging aid in DDB, it should be enclosed in
#ifdef DDB
#endif /* DDB */
And the name of the procedure should start with the prefix DDB_ to clearly identify the procedure as a debugger routine.
SCOPE OF SYMBOLS
It is important to carefully consider the scope of symbols in the kernel. The default is to make everything static, unless some reason
requires the opposite.
There are several reasons for this policy, the main one is that the kernel is one monolithic name-space, and pollution is not a good idea
here either.
For device drivers and other modules that don't add new internal interfaces to the kernel, the entire source should be in one file if possi-
ble. That way all symbols can be made static.
If for some reason a module is split over multiple source files, then try to split the module along some major fault-line and consider using
the number of global symbols as your guide. The fewer the better.
