It seems to me you csup'ed your sources but you are still using the old kernel. Try make buildkernell && make installkernel and then try loading the module. Gus PS : as a advice, I would do the installworld with KODIR=/boot/test && nextboot -k test. If i works, you can reinstall again the kernel as your default kernel . - -- PGP KEY : http://www-entel.upc.edu/gus/gus.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkoNUH4ACgkQAvcpDulVChDcwQCfZv8oKZzE37j794kCfNt2Tdqq z2YAn2BLpbl1Zm9eGRLvF3r2GtYBRSFr =fXHv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
