https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D274388 Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |markj@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #4 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> --- I suspect the problem is that you don't have a /boot/kernel/linker.hints fi= le.=20 So when the kernel loads a module which depends on g_flashmap, it doesn't k= now that that corresponds to geom_flashmap.ko. Your patch changes the module n= ame to geom_flashmap, and linker_hints_lookup() will always try to load <module name>.ko, so it works. Note that in FreeBSD, kernel modules and linker fil= es (.ko files) are not exactly the same. A linker file may contain multiple modules. Assuming my guess is right, your patch just works around one specific consequence of not having a linker.hints. OTOH, almost all of the GEOM mod= ules are named geom_*, so maybe the patch should be committed anyway... --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
