I'm trying to load the snp module on one of my 5.3-STABLE servers but it's failing with "kldload: can't load snp: No such file or directory" despite snp.ko existing in /boot/kernel. kldstat confirms it's not loaded btw.
On another one of my servers it's working fine and the only difference really is that the server with the problem has a custom devfs ruleset applied (pasted below just in case). I've tried applying a ruleset that unhides all devices, but I still get the same error. I'm assuming what's happening is that the "No such file or directory" error is actually reffering to /dev/snp0 not /boot/kernel/snp.ko and that the reason snp0 doesn't exist is that devfs is hiding it since it only unhides those devices that existed when the ruleset was applied, or at least I assume that's the case. Anyway, my question is, is there possibly a way to get devfs to act as if no ruleset was applied so that I can load the snp module? I know I could compile snp into my kernel, or load it through loader.conf but I need the snp module now and can't afford a reboot. Plus I can see this being a problem when trying to load other modules in the future when I've got devfs rulesets applied. My /etc/devfs.rules: : [show_all=9] : add unhide : : [shell_server=50] : add include $devfsrules_hide_all : add include $devfsrules_unhide_basic : add include $devfsrules_unhide_login : add path console unhide : #add path consolectl unhide : add path 'ttyv*' unhide : add path 'snp*' unhide : add path mem unhide : add path kmem unhide My /etc/rc.conf: : [snip] : devfs_system_ruleset="shell_server" PS, loading rule 9 (show_all) with the command `devfs ruleset 9` doesn't help in case I haven't mentioned that already PPS, this is all assuming that the ruleset is the cause of all this, possibly there's another reason for not being able to load snp on this server. Both servers are built from the same sources though and pretty much identical configuration wise. -- Mark Magiera _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
