Hi.
I *just* tried to install it on a real hardware (not a virtual machine) and I discovered this exact same thing. It seems that we have a good amount of packages that are not built. :-(
You can even look at graph. https://buildd.debian.org/stats/graph-quarter-big.png The difference between ka/ki is mainly due to ghc6, pending. You can also take a look at "source packages currently in unstable, missing in kfreebsd-amd64 archive, ordered by popcon" part of http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/NOTES.archive The openoffice.org, wine and openjdk-6 have high rank ...
The sound is not working, but I don't know if this is a configuration problem or lack of support. The sound card here is a Trident4D card. It works fine under Linux, but I don't know how the sound on FreeBSD is supposed to work. If I understand it correctly, FreeBSD uses OSS and programs with support for that should work. Is that right? I don't know if I would need to load any possible module or not.
Yes, 1st guess is to try "kldload snd_t4dwave", alternatively please send "lspci -v" and "lspci -vn".
Regarding the kernel, I have grub2 installed here and while I can boot the version 7.2 of the kernel, the very same configuration doesn't work with kfreebsd-8.
kfreebsd-8 doesn't boot, while kfreebsd-7 does. Any hint here?
Does it start booting, i.e have been kernel loaded ? What is the last line printed ? Petr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
