Can't load Linux kernel module

[osx-addict]

I tried loading the Linux kernel module today (on FreeBSD 8 stable) and get this error :

srv1# kldload linux
kldload: can't load linux: File exists

Any ideas what might be wrong? I also tried setting linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and rebooted but it wasn't loaded after the reboot..

nevermind.. I gather that means the module is compiled into the kernel..

What does "kldstat" tells you. I think your linux module is already loaded.

kldstat does the following :

srv1:~ [401]> kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1    3 0xc0400000 bb2cec   kernel
 2    1 0xc0fb3000 5778     nullfs.ko

I believe it does not show anything since it's not a module but is built-in..

Add -v to see the modules compiled into the kernel.

Hadn't thought to check if there was a way to do that..

Here's the output from that:

srv1:~ [402]> kldstat -v | grep lin
                467 linuxelf
                466 linuxaout
                458 elink
                404 linsysfs
                403 linprocfs
                171 mfi_linux
                17 aac_linux
                61 amr_linux
                30 acpi/acpi_pci_link
                286 uhub/usb_linux

Thanks!!

I think 'linuxelf' should cover it. When loaded as a module, kldstat -v will show:

 5    3 0xffffffff81558000 40170    linux.ko (/boot/kernel/linux.ko)
        Contains modules:
                Id Name
                 5 linuxelf

Should have mentioned "kldstat -v" in my previous post. Thanks for the reminder, guys!
