Hooray I am not alone! I have a thread in stable called ' kldstat causes kernel to print odd message' (not the best subject since it's wrong AND undescriptive), message ID is [EMAIL PROTECTED] > It is printed whenever a kernel module is loaded. > The modules load OK.

It is printed by sys/kern/link_elf.c - amd64 uses this for historical reasons. The issue is that it is being called before the stuff in link_elf_obj.c and printing an error, the kernel then tries _obj and it works. I tried #ifdef'ing out link_elf.c but it panicd my machine on boot and I haven't had time to find out why. The good news is that it's a purely cosmetic problem. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
