Okay, I'll grant this is probably a horrid noob question, but then on the
Free kernel I'm a horrid noob so I guess it makes sense.  This is for
FreeBSD

FreeBSD psmdev1 8.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p2

per uname -a.

We have a FreeBSD based product on the AMD64 architecture; I'm trying to
enable DTrace.  The file amd64/conf/GENERIC with which the kernel was
compiled has the required lines

options     KDTRACE_FRAME        # Ensure frames are compiled in
options     KDTRACE_HOOKS        # Kernel DTrace hooks
options     DDB_CTF                 # for DTrace

but when I try kldload dtraceall I get

kldload: can't load dtraceall: Exec format error

 From Google I get that this probably means some mismatch in compiles, but
I'm unclear what to look for.  Also, another big part of the product,
compiled from the same master Makefile, *does* have dtrace enabled
successfully.

Hints, suggestions, and pointers to documentation gleefully accepted.
What does dmesg say?
Thanks,

Aha, dmesg.  Thanks.
