According to find, the only *.ko anywhere in the system was gtkrc.ko, in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/linux-gtk/work/etc/gtk and /usr/X11R6/share/themes/Default/gtk. I suspect this may be additional fallout from my earlier problem, wherein sysinstall had failed to install the kernel: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-August/129613.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-August/129659.html Evidently it also failed to install the ext2fs module. One way to fix it: # cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ext2fs # make # cp ext2fs.ko /boot/modules
