"Unknown" driver gobbles resources??

2000-08-13 Thread Devin Butterfield
Hi all, In the process of learning device driver writing, I have written a simple skeleton driver for an isa PnP card I have. Thanks to some kind folks on the list I have ironed out most of my confusion. However I've run into a strange problem that has me stumped. Although this driver works (suc

BSDi binary compatibility?

Maybe someone here knows. :-) I'm looking to compile a program that will ultimately run on a BSDi 2.1 machine. Are there any versions of FreeBSD that are capable of doing the compile and creating a compatible binary? (I've got FreeBSD releases since 2.0.5 stashed away). -- ... Joe -

Size limits for kld's?

I'm working on getting plex86 (formerly FreeMWare) to run under FreeBSD, which requires writing a device driver. I wrote up a simple kld to handle this, and a minimal version works perfectly. The problem I'm having crops up when I add in all the other functionality that needs to be included. Th
