I'd like to feed back that this was pilot error.  Although I had
up-to-date modules in /boot/kernel, I still had stale modules in
/modules.

The bottom line?  Be sure to remove your /modules when you upgrade.  If
you want to keep your old modules around to support an old kernel, do
this:

	if [ ! -d /boot/kernel.old ]; then
		mv /modules /boot/kernel.old
		chflags noschg /kernel
		mv /kernel /boot/kernel.old/kernel.ko
		chflags noschg /boot/kernel.old/kernel.ko
	fi

The linuxulator is working just fine for me under the new SMPng. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
