Hi,

I was doing an upgrade from 12.2-R to HEAD today, and at the end of 
installkernel I got the warning  “kldxref: too many segments”. Still, the 
system seems to claim that installkernel succeded. I believe the message is 
caused by the fact that the system kldxref is used to kldxref the new kernel, 
rather than using the one from buildworld (I got this idea by looking at 
KLDXREF_CMD in sys/conf/kern.opts.mk). 

I don’t know if the message is innocuous or not (although I’d love to know), 
but I also wonder whether installkernel should pick the buildworld kldxref 
rather than the installed one.

Thanks,
Matteo
