Hooray I am not alone! I have a thread in stable called ' kldstat causes kernel to print odd=20 message' (not the best subject since it's wrong AND undescriptive),=20 message ID is 200801171410.38488.doconnor@gsoft.com.au. > It is printed whenever a kernel module is loaded. > The modules load OK.

It is printed by sys/kern/link_elf.c - amd64 uses this for historical=20 reasons.=20 The issue is that it is being called before the stuff in link_elf_obj.c=20 and printing an error, the kernel then tries _obj and it works. I tried #ifdef'ing out link_elf.c but it panicd my machine on boot and I=20 haven't had time to find out why. The good news is that it's a purely cosmetic problem. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart1444192.3CA22XZiui Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBHoBdT5ZPcIHs/zowRAsmaAKCV4f+OezBBKRw1OvOqhDKDJoQqgQCgg+rr t1mHuSdJ7UXVH7fhyLqtQi0= =9056 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1444192.3CA22XZiui--
