I'd like to feed back that this was pilot error.  Although I had
up-to-date modules in /boot/kernel, I still had stale modules in
/modules.

The bottom line?  Be sure to remove your /modules when you upgrade.  If
you want to keep your old modules around to support an old kernel, do
this:

        if [ ! -d /boot/kernel.old ]; then
                mv /modules /boot/kernel.old
                chflags noschg /kernel
                mv /kernel /boot/kernel.old/kernel.ko
                chflags noschg /boot/kernel.old/kernel.ko
        fi

The linuxulator is working just fine for me under the new SMPng. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
