I'm : following the instructions in UPDATING...I successfully made world, built and : then installed a new kernel, and then this... Daniel- If you installed the new kernel, then it installed the new modules. This assumes that you did a "make buildkernel KERNEL=GENERIC; make installkernel KERNEL=GENERIC". I believe this step in UPDATING needs to be removed because the buildkernel/installkernel targets include the building and installing of the modules (which can be annoying if you build/maintain multiple kernels ... -DNO_MODULES is your friend in this case). Do you have a /modules directory populated with new *.ko (same mod times as /kernel and a /modules.old? If so, you are in business and can forego that step. Hope this helps, S ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean O'Connell Email: sean@stat.Duke.EDU Institute of Statistics and Decision Sciences Phone: (919) 684-5419 Duke University Fax: (919) 684-8594 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
