Fabian, is the siftr.ko module you're loading built as part of > a "make buildkernel", or did you follow my instructions and "cd > </path/to/src>/sys/modules/siftr ; make ; kldload ./siftr.ko"? The latter. > If the latter is true, perhaps try and explicitly build SIFTR as part of > "make buildkernel" and see if loading the module built that way still > triggers the panic when enabled (the module will be in > /usr/obj/<path/to/src>/sys/<KERNCONF>/modules/<path/to/src>/sys/modules/siftr/siftr.ko > or if you "make installkernel" it'll be in /boot/kernel/kernel/siftr.ko). That seems to work.
