This is harmless and can be ignored.  It's caused by 6.x utilities
trying to operate on a 7.0 kernel and its loadable modules, which
doesn't work.  Just proceed with the next steps in the upgrade 
procedure and it will all work fine.


Cheers,

Matthew

Hello,
   Previously i've done make buildworld, make buildkernel, make 
installkernel, shutdown to single user mode, mergemaster -p, make 
installworld, mergemaster, boot multiuser. Has this procedure changed?

Thanks.
Dave.

According to:

under the heading 23.4.1 The Canonical Way to Updating Your System you 
would be correct.

Someone else will have to pipe in as I do not know the answer to your 
question. I was just reponding to your procedural response on updating the 
FBSD OS.
