To clarify here.. There are 2 bits of code in the kernel for loading modules - they get=20 run in a certain (compiler/linker specific) order. It used to be they=20 were run one way but now it is the other way around. These bits of code=20 print warnings if the object format is wrong. So, one gets run on the module you want to load & fails (and prints the=20 message you see). The next one is run and it understands that file type=20 so loads it. If it was a bogus module that neither understood then the kldload would=20 return an error. I believe a work around was applied recently so this is not so much of a=20 problem any more. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart8176800.9yEyAgOFkh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBImmku5ZPcIHs/zowRAkVcAJ45tgsey+30S2kNDS0n1Wjcj/PeTwCaA1jt N3Yj8vBqLxnaxQ3KUxRmJ28= =EkUv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart8176800.9yEyAgOFkh--
