I can confirm debug symbols is still in the kernel, but that is most likely used for backtraces and debugging when a kernel panic happens. This is instead of asking the user who had a kernel panic to rebuild with debugging to debug it. PREEMPTION as I understand it should have been removed from the kernel config file. It should have been removed from the GENERIC config file after RELENG_8_0_RELEASE tag is made. I don't know what your tag is when you update. Perhaps you're copying or using a config file from the BETA or RC days? I'll help until I can't help no more with your issue. --Tim _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
