Does FreeBSD support linux-2.6.22-mip6 kernel?

[matrix007]

Hi everyone,

I work in a project on freebsd FreeBSD and I want to know if it supports the linux-2.6.22-mip6 kernel. In which case I want to now the ideal make and install of this kernel.

FreeBSD is not Linux and will not run a Linux kernel.

I think you took the wrong turn.

We can run Linux binaries but that doesn't require the use of the Linux kernel. The Linux emulation layer is more or less like Wine. Linux specific API/ABI calls are 'translated' to their FreeBSD counterparts.

What does it mean the linux binaries?
When I install the linux kernel in FreeBSD ;I have this message:

configure: error: kernel headers do not support MIPv6.

 

[SirDice]

Let me rephrase what Wblock@ said, you can NOT install or run the Linux kernel on FreeBSD!

Ok thanks, I thought that it supports the linux kernel.
Thanks everyone.

No, you can run Linux binaries.

For this architecture- MIPS- you may want to ask the NetBSD mailing lists. Linux compatibility is covered on more architectures with that flavor.

It's not MIPS the architecture, it's Mobile IPv6.

This can provide you helpful information: Mobile IPv6 paper.
