Hi guys!
Here is the deal:
i had a fresh install of pc-bsd
installed my nic driver using pkg_add
got internet working.
next i installed patch 1 and the nic kernel module stoped loading at boot.
i traced the problem down to this:
Patch 1 for RC2 installs a new kernel. The directory /boot/kernel where the module is gets backd'up to /boot/kernel.save and a new /boot/kernel directory is created but my nic's kernel module is not copied over...
Any ideas on why this has happened? It's really weird. The only file missing in the new directory is my nic's driver, if_myk.ko which was installed using pkg_add.
really need some help here to figure this out. To make things work again i just have to copy the file from /boot/kernel.save to the new /boot/kernel and kldload it.
I just need to know if this is my mistake somewhere, a FreeBSD bug, a PC-BSD bug or something else.
Thanks in advance!
