 In the compat.linux.osrelease case it's not a fatal error, it seems
 that sysctl manages to set the correct value after the linux kld is
 loaded by linux_enable="YES", even if it failed the first time.
 
 % sysctl compat.linux.osrelease
 compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.32
 
 I don't really know why and which mechanism is responsible of this but
 it behaves like "late" mounts.
