The pcic module contains a reference to a symbol that's only present in the kernel when the card* devices are statically compiled in. Ie. if you remove pcic* and card* you can't load the pcic module. This makes the pcic module useless, and, as I said, renders any combination other than 100% static *broken*. > Two solutions; 1) don't compile pcic into your kernel; 2) remove the > kldload pcic from rc.pccard; 3) fix kldload to not load modules when > their functionality is already compiled in (_Three_ Solutions!!). 1) is a non-solutuion. 3) is where the correct answer lies, but until the file/module dichotomy is resolved, it's not possible to do that. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
