"Why am I loading a stale version of saver_foo?", etc. Perhaps something more along the lines of: /modules <- empty, except for directories /console <- console related modules blank_saver.ko, daemon_saver.ko, fade_saver.ko, green_saver.ko, logo_saver.ko, rain_saver.ko, snake_saver.ko, star_saver.ko, vesa.ko, warp_saver.ko /devices <- device drivers. joy.ko /emulation <- like linux, fpu, etc... fpu.ko, gnufpu.ko, ibcs2.ko, ibcs2_coff.ko, linux.ko /fs <- filesystem related modules atapi.ko, ccd.ko, cd9660.ko, coda.ko, fdesc.ko, kernfs.ko, mfs.ko, msdos.ko, nfs.ko, null.ko, portal.ko, procfs.ko, umap.ko, union.ko, vinum.ko /net <- network related modules. if_disc.ko, if_ppp.ko, if_sl.ko, if_tun.ko, ipfw.ko I think this takes care of everything currently in /modules. -- Zach Heilig <zach@uffdaonline.net> / Zach Heilig <zach@gaffaneys.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
