Ok, I got vinum to start by doing a 'cd /usr/src/sys/modules/vinum &&
make install' (after booting back to a 3.4 GENERIC kernel). I can now
get vinum to load, but it won't mount anything... the error it gives is
'Cannot get device list: cannot allocate memory'... I'm guessing that
some library needs to be installed as well. I'm way to tired to try
trouble-shooting this anymore tonight (last thing I want to do is
destroy my volumes :) ), but if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear
them.

FWIW, I'd followed all the steps in /usr/src/UPDATING up to and
including '<reboot>'... the only variations were that for
building/installing the kernel, I used make buildkernel from /usr/src
(as well as make installkernel), and I just did a MAKEDEV all (I don't
have any IDE drives on this box; though dmesg is now saying something
about an IDE device... guess I still have one of the controllers enabled
in the BIOS).

Also, sorry for cross-posting my previous message to -questions as well
as -stable, but I wanted to warn anyone who might be running vinum about
this... would be a major pain if this happened on a production box.

Thanks,
Jim
