Hello,
I'm wondering what's status of LKM under NetBSD 1.3.3.
.. on alpha.
Unless I'm missing something obvious, it seems to be
ulteriorily broken.
As I see:
-there seems be no modules in use.
-the examples in /usr/share/lkm seems be out of date.
-modload passes incorrect options to ld
('-T', should be '-Ttext' and '-A', should be '-R',
plus uses '/netbsd' not the kernel which actually runs).
-modbsd expect the module to be in a.out format,
whereas kernel is in ELF format.
..at that point I have up hacking lkm for now.
Someone please tell me that I'm wrong and that lkm stuff are
not broken...
I wanted to do some kernel programming and it would be a really
usefull thing here.
Thanks,
Adam
