Clark cjclark@home.com Dear Crist J. Clark, I am afraid Michael Harnois is right. Under -CURRENT, there IS such a .../compile/[mykernel]/modules directory. This issue, ie the mechanism to prevent kernel and modules from being out of sync with each other, has recently been discussed in the -current forum as I recall. Also, AFAICR, there was a thread dealing with "panic in the morning", or something like that, about these specific problems.
