How do I know if this kernel works on my system? Can't say for sure about what server to use; the website should give you that information, though. That's a weird message from CVS, but I believe that CVS (still) doesn't like '.' in CVS tags. Try 'xnu-201-42-3'. Furthermore I would like to know where I have to change the config of the kernel to be able to use ktrace. Each 'component' of xnu (BSD, IOKit, Mach) has a conf subdirectory, and therein lies much of the build magic. For 'ktrace', look in bsd/conf/MASTER.{ppc,i386}. There is a sequence of lines like: # RELEASE = [.....] Add the term 'ktrace' in the list within the brackets, and rebuild the 'bsd' piece (cd bsd; make all; make mach_kernel).
