This change affects the KBI, as sysctl declarations now include an additional pointer. The underlying sysctl registration function also gained an additional argument. That said, if you simply rebuild all kernel modules, this shouldn't cause any regressions, or are you saying those persist? If so, this is definitely not an intended side-effect of this change and we should look into it. -- Ed Schouten <ed@nuxi.nl> Nuxi, 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands KvK-nr.: 62051717
