As to the attachment: it's not too uncommon to rely on websites such as Pastebin for this.
I checked and I found a few problems with your configuration. However, I can't say for sure how much it will interfere with building your kernel. If there's one thing I learned though its that sometimes even small details can have consequences.
First things first: I noticed that you based your configuration on
MINIMAL instead of
GENERIC. I wouldn't recommend this unless you know what you're doing, the best route to take is base your configuration of
GENERIC and go from there. Also because the main approach of
MINIMAL is to move features out of the kernel and supply them through kernel modules. But since you're removing things anyway that seems a bit off to me.
For starters... You removed several compatibility options. I'd recommend against it:
Code:
options COMPAT_FREEBSD32 # Compatible with i386 binaries
# options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4
# options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5
# options COMPAT_FREEBSD6 # Compatible with FreeBSD6
# options COMPAT_FREEBSD7 # Compatible with FreeBSD7
Unix, per definition, relies heavily on backwards compatibility. I don't know for sure what the consequences of removing these options will be, but I can't help be convinced that it won't be too good.
I also spotted a few errors in the Pseudo device section:
Code:
# options PADLOCK_RNG # VIA Padlock RNG
# options RDRAND_RNG # Intel Bull Mountain RNG
device ether # Ethernet support
Those aren't options, they're devices. This is from
GENERIC:
Code:
# Pseudo devices.
device loop # Network loopback
device random # Entropy device
device padlock_rng # VIA Padlock RNG
device rdrand_rng # Intel Bull Mountain RNG
device ether # Ethernet support
I doubt that leaving those devices in will have consequences, but even so: these are some inconsistencies nonetheless.
Anyway, personally I'd try a different route first to determine if you found a bug or not. Something like this:
Code:
include GENERIC
ident TURTLE4-0
# IPFW - from TURTLE3
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=5
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
# options IPFIREWALL_NAT # I do not remember why I turned it off
options IPDIVERT
options DUMMYNET
So: build a
GENERIC kernel (or
MINIMAL I guess) with the additions you want and see how well that compiles. If that works you can simply work your way down into removing those devices which you don't need.
One option is of course to copy the configuration file and then commenting things out, you could also use
nodevice and
nooptions statements in your own configuration file (so you'd include
GENERIC, then simply unload/remove whatever you don't need).
So, for
MINIMAL I'd probably use something like this (quite frankly I wouldn't use
MINIMAL in the first place, but you get the idea):
Code:
include MINIMAL
ident TURTLE4-0
nomakeoptions DEBUG
nomakeoptions WITH_CTF
nooptions DDB
nooptions GDB
nooptions DEADLKRES
nooptions INVARIANTS
nooptions INVARIANTS_SUPPORT
nooptions WITNESS
nooptions WITNESS_SKIPSPIN
nooptions MALLOC_DEBUG_MAXZONES
# IPFW - from TURTLE3
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=5
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
# options IPFIREWALL_NAT # I do not remember why I turned it off
options IPDIVERT
options DUMMYNET
Hope this can give you some ideas.
