Lots of stuff in there; anything in particular I'm looking

end. Before that I see "pid 34320 (conftest), uid 0: exited

piped it all through grep for "pf" and didn't find anything.
Try doing kldload pf and looking at the end of /var/log/messages by doing
tail /var/log/messages
I suspect that if you compare the timestamp of when you ran kldload=20
and the timestamp in the messages logfile you'll find that the link_elf
errors are related to the kldload failure.  Or if you have multiple
xterms / command windows open, do


   Well, that was a fine guess but the timestamps of the log messages are =
much earlier in the day, very likely when I didn't
   have all the ALTQ schtuff in my kernel config.


Did you recompile the pf module to try and include
altq support?  altq_remove is only used if ALTQ is defined when
the module is built.

   Uh... I'm trying to think of a half-way intelligent response so my =
pride doesn't get clobbered too awfully much. So, I can
   compile the pf module alone, by itself? Where is it? I assume I use =
"make" somehow to do this? Sorry, it's Friday of a very
   long, stressful week for me and my brain is just about used up. Having =
trouble keeping up and groking all this.
