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.
