I included only the drivers I need in the kernel config file, but all the modules got compiled anyway. :( I looked around both in the kernel config dir and google, but didn't find anything that would allow me to select which kernel modules to compile.

If you don't include something in the kernel it's built as a module. Can I have 'ohci' as a kernel module? I haven't tried. I don't know for sure. - Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you enable the module in the config, it is built into the kernel, otherwise a kld is generated. Can I have 'ohci' as a kernel module? Whether or not a specific feature is capable of operating as a kernel module or built in is specific to that feature. Some work very well in either capacity (the FAT filesystem drivers for example) others don't really work compiled into the kernel (vinum) and many others _must_ be compiled into the kernel for them to work correctly (ISA and PCI support, I believe) I don't know specifically about ohci, but the man page for ohci would be the first place to check. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
