X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 02 Sep 2007 18:33:31 -0000 On a updated build of -CURRENT (as of when I ran cvsup on September 1st), I have a strange issue running kldload. Some modules will throw an error, claiming they're missing symbols (but they don't say what symbol). Here's an example of such output: machine# kldload zlib link_elf: symbol undefined kldload: can't load zlib: No such file or directory machine# kldload xfs link_elf: symbol undefined kldload: can't load xfs: No such file or directory machine# kldload lpt machine# As you may notice, the actual symbol which is undefined isn't named-- according to the error. dmesg only contains the exact same output. Oddly enough, not all modules are impacted, either--lpt loaded fine, as do a few other modules. I did go back to an April snapshot of -CURRENT, and this problem did not exist (zlib loaded fine), so presumably, something has changed in the five months since then. Also, this is a SPARC64 build of FreeBSD. If my question would be better directed to that list, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Doug Kelly
