Have you recompiled gkrellm since you recompiled your kernel? Anything which gets information out of the kernel (which it sounds like gkrellm does, though I'm not familiar with it myself) should be recompiled whenever you recompile your kernel. In some cases things will still work if you don't recompile them, but it's safest always to do so anyway. cheers, -ben --=20 Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org --5vNYLRcllDrimb99 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7U71LbPzJ+yzvRCwRAipgAKCJTywaH9xCtY+UaiUzHBymr2Pe1ACeOVVH wUB3DF8gMJcbNTBgJojAVJE= =PH+t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5vNYLRcllDrimb99-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
