It tries to issue the following command: ${_v}${CP} -rp ${_BOOTDIR}/kernel ${WRKDIR}/disk/boot Which fails when finding the symbol link. I can send a patch to change that to -Rp, which would work fine, but wouldn't it be better to either completely remove if_igb.ko, or simply copy if_em.ko to if_igb.ko? I'm wondering if for example anyone strips down it's /boot/kernel/ manually, by removing unused modules, and what would happen if if_em.ko is removed but not if_igb.ko. Roger.
