FWIW, I went back and did this but still seem to get the older kmod

Again, many thanks for your help.

The FreeBSD handbook might have the extra bits you were missing:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-freebsdupdate.html
Bonus note: the 2nd "freebsd-update install" after the reboot to delete some
now-obsolete files.
The announcement really doesn't talk about upgrading ports.
In 23.2.3.2 ("Upgrading Packages After a Major Version Upgrade") they say
to do this (among other things):
pkg-static upgrade -f
So pkg-static (vs pkg) in case you have shared-library problems with the
dynamically-linked pkg, and then -f to "force" the upgrade. That may be
the missing piece here in getting rid of your previous-kernel packages
even if they might otherwise run just fine.

Clearly the old 12.0-* kernel.

That is apparently a meta-port that doesn't behave like you'd expect. I
had to do a similar thing for myself. But I think the "-f" might have
fixed it for you above, if the packages were built on the repo (below).

I don't know. Finding out which package your .ko file came from would
tell us a bit there. I've just got in the habit of build all my packages
myself because I can get into the bleeding-edge area and run into problems
like that.
I suspect that the official answer would be "hell no" and this is the
type of experience that the FreeBSD folks like to see for the purposes
off adding things to UPDATING and such. But I know that it is going to
take a while for their poudraire to grid through all the ports
In any case, I'm glad we got you up and running.

I won't be in front of a box with that setup until Monday, but from memory, graphics/drm-kmod pulls in graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod (at least on my system with it's build-in Intel video card). If you do something like this, but substitute your .ko file for m4 below, you should be able to validate the package it came from and the kernel version it was targeted at: $ pkg which /usr/local/bin/*m4 /usr/local/bin/gm4 was installed by package m4-1.4.18_1,1 $ pkg info m4 | grep -i version Version: 1.4.18_1,1 FreeBSD_version: 1201000 That 1201000 means that it was compiled for 12.1 in my case. Have you overridden the default package location, leaving it aimed at 12.0? What do you mean by trying it from "ports"? How did you refresh that? (I'm just fishing for something that would have survived the upgrade process and been locked onto 12.0 vs 12.1 and stopping you from getting a good, recompiled version installed.) ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
