https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D224646 Bug ID: 224646 Summary: Attempts to load non-PAE modules into a PAE-kernel should be rejected Product: Base System Version: 11.1-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mi@FreeBSD.org When a module is built outside of the normal "make kernel" process, it may = not have the PAE defined. There may also be a problem in the other direction. I was recently bitten by this as documented in Bug #224616 -- vboxguest.ko installed by the emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions would load, but fail to initialize itself with an incomprehensible -- and easy to miss -- error-message. The port-maintainer(s) may fix the problem with the port, but the kldload and/or kernel need to detect such miscompilations and reject attempts to lo= ad the module -- with an easy to understand error. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
