Hi,
I've a problem loading modules in '-current' (3.99.22) kernel on i386.
This is the main problem:
# modload
pf.o
/dev/ksyms: file not recognized: File format not recognized
modload: can't prelink `pf.o' creating `pf'
A way how to "solve" this is this:
# modload -A /netbsd pf.o
Module loaded as ID 0
However I don't like the "-A" trick. I've experimenting a while and it
seems that /dev/ksyms is really in bad shape:
# cat /dev/ksyms >
/tmp/ksyms
# file /tmp/ksyms
/tmp/ksyms: ELF 32-bit invalid byte order (SYSV), corrupted section
header size
This most probably causes linker to fail while using symbols from
/dev/ksyms. Any idea what could be wrong? I use grub (+ MULTIBOOT kernel
option) to load the kernel if that matters (I think it should not).
Thanks.
