This is the first time I've ever run dmesg. = Lots of stuff in there; anything in particular I'm looking > for? I see "link_elf: symbol altq_remove undefined" 6 times at the = end. Before that I see "pid 34320 (conftest), uid 0: exited > on signal 12 (core dumped)"... yikes, that doesn't sound good. I = 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. Gary 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.
