Very Computer

Hi,

This is what I get on 2 machines when compiling my kernel on a freebsd
4-stable (cvsupped this morning, and yesterday and bothn have the same
problem) system:

cc -c -x assembler-with-cpp -DLOCORE -O -Wall -Wredundant-decls
-Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes  -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual  -fformat-extensions -ansi
-nostdinc -I- -I. -I../.. -I../../../include  -D_KERNEL -include
opt_global.h -elf  -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2
../../i386/i386/bioscall.s
/tmp/ccO81277.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccO81277.s:776: Error: operands given don't match any known 386
instruction
/tmp/ccO81277.s:841: Error: operands given don't match any known 386
instruction
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERNEL

What is going wrong ?

The binutils (which include the assembler) have been updated and some
assembler files (extension .s) have been adapted some days ago.
I.e. you'd have to make and install the binutils before building
a kernel from the new sources. You may want to do a full "make world".

There's now a procedure for making world and kernel that will make
sure that new tools get used to build the kernel. It has been
announced on the -stable mailing list and can be found here:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=124003+0+archive/2000/fr...

Beware, right now this procedure installs the new kernel not as /kernel
but with the name of your kernel configuration file. I think this may
be changed, but for now you'll probably have to copy it by hand or
have
bootfile="your_kernel_name,kernel,kernel.old"
in /boot/loader.conf or /boot/loader.conf.local .

Bye, Philip

 This must be the reason why vmstat and top are broken in 4.0-RELEASE
