some updates of building kernel. I spend some time these days to investigate the kernel compiling problem that I found earlier. I start from netbsd 7.0 -stable, and build a netbsd-current. After building tools, kernel modules, I found there are two folders, one is /usr/<buildname>/tooldir.NetBSD-7.0_STABLE-i386, the other is /usr/<buildname>/tooldir.NetBSD-7.99.29-i386, after installing new kernels, when trying to install userland, it will report some binary tools cannot be found in the second folder, but these tools exist in the first folder. I copied the required tools over to the second folder, it install userland successfully. I guess in the new kernel, building tools again can also solve the problem.
Although the kernel compiling problem is solved, I observed a kernel issue of netbsd-current. I used i386 arch on virtualbox, sometimes, it will tell me power button is pressed and the system is shutdown (I have attached the detailed info below). However, I never press the button. I experience this problem at least 10 times. To verify it is a netbsd-current problem, I installed a netbsd 7.0-stable kernel, and never experience this problem again. So, I am wondering what's the kernel changes that cause this issue? This is not quite related to my projects, but definitely is good to let the community know. *** FINAL System shutdown message from root@ *** System going down IMMEDIATELY power button pressed 2016-05-09 11:20 GMT-07:00 Charles Cui <charles.cui1...@gmail.com>: > Got it, I can start to collecting it and post you the information once I have. > > > > Thanks, Charles > > 2016-05-09 10:07 GMT-07:00 Christos Zoulas <chris...@zoulas.com>: >> On May 9, 10:03am, charles.cui1...@gmail.com (Charles Cui) wrote: >> -- Subject: Re: refine of the GSOC project >> >> | Sure, I can do it. >> | To make it clear, besides this list, you want another list that failed >> | the test because of it is not used in a standard way or compiler >> | settings? >> >> Well, the simple ones (the ones that use variable names that are defined >> constants in the NetBSD headers) you can just fix. >> The ones that need extra libraries and compiler settings should be mostly >> covered by the patch that I sent you, but there could be more. >> Finally there are ones that are slightly more complicated to fix, and we >> should just say what's wrong with them in the table... >> >> christos
