The old lkm interface used to report an error when a module was tried to be loaded multiple times. >How-To-Repeat: Compile the syscall example in /usr/share/examples/kld/syscall. Issue 'make load' multiple times. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
