I did some testing... If I'm loading the kernel in the loader and then run lsmod -v I only see a single module with name 'kernel' and version 1. This is wrong, I guess. When doing the same on powerpc64, i386, and amd64, I see multiple modules listen and also the kernel with a number like 1200069. It comes from calling file_addmodule() at https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/stand/common/load_elf.c?view=markup#l1102 I guess this is not the expected code path, or am I wrong? I would expect that https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/stand/common/load_elf.c?view=markup#l1094 should have been used. Any ideas or suggestions? Best regards Michael > > ./danfehelp
