Hi. I'm the fellow in Hans's <cite>...</cite>. If someone's looking into this, it's worth mentioning that the sample cdev kmodule in /usr/share/examples/kld/cdev/ also exhibits the behavior. On my 8.1-PRERELEASE system that module does not create the /dev/cedv device, but if you add the line LDFLAGS += -u __start_set_sysinit_set -u __start_set_sysuninit_set \ -u __start_set_sysctl_set -u __start_set_modmetadata_set \ -u __stop_set_sysinit_set -u __stop_set_sysuninit_set \ -u __stop_set_sysctl_set -u __stop_set_modmetadata_set right before the .include <bsd.kmod.mk> in /usr/share/examples/kld/cdev/module/Makefile and remake everything, the module creates the /dev/cdev file when it's loaded. That magical line was suggested by Ryan Stone in another thread: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=120718+0+current/freebsd-hackers Happy hunting, and I'm happy to test patches or provide more information. -- Ted Faber http://www.isi.edu/~faber PGP: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkeys.asc Unexpected attachment on this mail?
