This is a bug in installkernel. Bug Peter Wemm [EMAIL PROTECTED] to fix it since he broke it. :) Or find somone else who groks the src/Makefile.inc1 stuff. The real fix is harder and involves fixing the kernel build so that modules stop being a hack and all .ko's are built in the same directory and then kldxref is run at build time as a build tool. I guess the other hack would be to change the makefiles back to ignoring failures from kldxref for now until the bigger problem is fixed. -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
