Members of freebsd-current mailing list are probably too busy, so I'm 
forwarding my question to more dynamic freebsd-questions mailing list. 
Is my guess about the /src/release/Makefile right or wrong?

BTW when 5.2.1-RC2 is going to be released? I saw few cvs commits with 
preparation to this release.

Thanks

Could it be a result of revision 1.825.2.2 of the /src/release/Makefile
that adds a 'strip -x' run on the kernel modules on the mfsroot floppy?

It looks like miibus is having some sort of problem:  the modules that
complain are all dependent on it.
