It affects any 3rd party module you may try to load from /boot/loader.conf. It appears that the loader is ignoring the configured module_path in the /boot/defaults/loader.conf file which includes /boot/modules as a legit search path for other modules.....Loader is ignoring this directive and is only looking at /boot/kernel for it's modules. Thus the loader dies and pukes out a CPU register dump on your screen. The temporary fix is to either load it in the scripts (as mentioned), or copy the module from /boot/modules to /boot/kernel It the module exists in /boot/kernel.....you can continue to load your modules in the loader.conf file normally. FYI, Sincerely and respectfully, Dave -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
