 I'd send this warning for now.

I'd like to feed back that this was pilot error.  Although I had
up-to-date modules in /boot/kernel, I still had stale modules in
/modules.

The bottom line?  Be sure to remove your /modules when you upgrade.  If
you want to keep your old modules around to support an old kernel, do
this:

if [ ! -d /boot/kernel.old ]; then
mv /modules /boot/kernel.old
chflags noschg /kernel
mv /kernel /boot/kernel.old/kernel.ko
chflags noschg /boot/kernel.old/kernel.ko
fi

The linuxulator is working just fine for me under the new SMPng. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.

HEADS UP: linux module breaks current

[Sheldon Hearn]

Hi folks,

Just a warning to anyone wanting to try out SMPng -- make sure that you
hdon't have ``linux_enable="YES"'' in /etc/rc.conf.

I got a kernel trap when /etc/rc tried to load the linux module.  I
haven't had time to get a panic and backtrace to Marcel, but I thought
I'd send this warning for now.

Ciao,
Sheldon.

This is usually a pretty good sign of an out of date linux module.

Be sure you are up to date, especially since modules now live in a
different location.
