Yes. After the above procedure, your new kernel will be installed under a different name, equal to the name of the kernel configuration file. When booting, the old /kernel will get loaded, and that one is incompatible with your newer modules. There are two ways around this: 1) Edit /boot/loader.conf and add the line kernel="XYZZY", where XYZZY is the name of your kernel. 2) See LINT (it's still LINT on -stable, right? :) for an option that let you override the name, so that XYZZY will install kernels named "kernel" again. -- Daniel C.
