kernel bakery

İ spent about two days, rying to kompile a new kernel for my NetBSD. İ just wanted to install my old harddisk as a encrypted filesystem and so İ had to comment in one line,

pseudo-device cgd 4 # cryptographic disk devices

but just because İ once had to compile the kernel, İ wanted to make it as small as possible. the first try was trial and error, it worked to boot, but the x didn`t start. the next try -MYKERNEL2- worked, as İ just commented in the line for encryption, but was big.
the next try was to comment out very carefully -MYKERNEL3-, but still didn`t work. the same problem, X didn`t start.

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting

so, as İ don`t find the problem, İ decided to publish all the stuff. maybe someone can give me a hint, maybe someone is just curious, hoe all this stuff looks like. İ got headache by all this jhjk* at hjhj? dev ? ? .

so these istv the stuff

MYKERNEL2 - the config of the working kernel, its dmesg-output, and the Xlog
MYKERNEL3 - the config of the buggy kernel, its dmesg-output, and its Xlog with the fatal error.

  1. heya, so auf dem ersten blick: versuch mal

    pci* at ppb? bus
    npx0 at isa?
    isapnp0 at isa?

    wieder in den kernel einzubauen.

  2. ok, it`s running now. thnx. but to be honest, i don`t understand. none of the stuff seems to me, to be really used. anyway, its just a few bytes more in the kernel.
