This regression is present on both FreeBSD-8 an= d - Current. =20 This can be reproduced by doing: # cd /boot/kernel ; gzip -9 unionfs.ko (Choose option 6 from loader and enter: load unionfs) I have experienced this on both i386 and amd64. It appears that loader can= =20 handle a compressed generic kernel (and maybe other modules). =20 Regards David --nextPart1563877.DkulJleLIK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAksnVeoACgkQUaaFgP9pFrIBSgCbB0ZkG1Q6CDq6oQV6OOGLx8lV SbQAnR9yztAD47m9NyJ+yDramzpjmPFk =YdVw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1563877.DkulJleLIK--
