kern.module_path missing kernel boot dir
I have a 5.3-RELEASE machine here which refuses to load things like nfsd erroring about kernel module doesnt exist. I've been tracking it down and it looks like: kern.module_path is at fault on the broken machine its: sysctl -a |grep modules kern.module_path: /boot/modules where as on a working machine its: sysctl -a |grep modules kern.module_path: /boot/kernel;/boot/modules Anyone got any ideas where I can look next to see why module_path is not been set correctly?

You may want to check this out from UPDATING 20040806: Module loading has been fixed. Some older installations will drop proper module_path initialization and modules will fail to load properly. If you have a line in /boot/loader.rc that says: initialize drop, do (i386 only): cp /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc /boot/loader.rc chown root:wheel /boot/loader.rc chmod 444 /boot/loader.rc Andrew ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
