There have been no errors in the process, either. AAMOF, in response to Phillip's mail, I just did it again, as you can see (z* is to omit snipping): ll /boot/kernel/z* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 712006 Mar 3 15:16 /boot/kernel/zfs.ko* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3471592 Mar 3 15:16 /boot/kernel/zfs.ko.symbols* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 38175 Mar 3 15:16 /boot/kernel/zlib.ko* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 58834 Mar 3 15:16 /boot/kernel/zlib.ko.symbols* I've rebooted the system, and I'm still being told I'm running 6.2 by uname. In addition, pkg_add thinks I should be looking for 6-latest packages instead of 7, and the list of annoyances continues. And, "hmm", symbols? I'm guessing that knob is ON in FBSD7? Once again, proof that something's wrong, as I didn't build debugging kernels in FBSD6 ... so I'm thinking this is a 7 kernel? It just doesn't make sense to me. It *is* a Monday, after all. If installkernel didn't succeed, shouldn't there be any other evidence? Could skipping a mergemaster at some point have this effect? (I don't *always* do that, unless I'm making a pretty big move, and the first build cycle was production code IIRC) What about issues with "newvers.sh" (or whatever it is?) Any other think-outside-the-box stuff? What could cause an installkernel operation to fail but appear to succeed? KDK -- I just rewrote my .sig.
