Subject: skip on elf kernel?

Hello,

I was curious if anyone has had any success loading the skip module onto
an ELF kernel.  It seems that the port builds the module as an lkm, not
a kld, so the elf kernel won't load it.

Also, if running a -current ELF system with an aout kernel, I have found
it necessary to build the skip port with OBJFORMAT set to 'aout', or
modload chokes on the ELF file format.

Is there a solution to this problem I'm not seeing, or are we just in
the "transition" phase still?  More importantly, is it possible to run
skip with an ELF kernel?

If anyone has any suggestions/thoughts on this I would appreciate the
feedback.

Regards,

Brad Hilton
