Custom kernel module list

[Alex Seitsinger]

I would like to read the list of kernel modules that are built into my custom kernel much like /sbin/kldstat offers for the running system's kernel. Suggestions?

Its worth mentioning: /etc/rc.d/(pf|pflog|pfsync) all require that the kernel modules be loaded at boot, despite the possibility of them already being included in the kernel. When this loading fails--because the kernel module file does not exist--filtering, logging and/or syncing fail to start. I think that these scripts should use kldstat -qvi -m <name>.ko to check before forcibly loading these kernel modules.

config -x /boot/kernel/kernel will show you the config for that kernel.

Unfortunately, I didn't embed the kernel configuration file, so this won't work for me.

Oh, I wondered if should mention that, but then thought "it's now in generic anyway" sadly, don't know any other way for non-currently-running kernel.

Rather crappy and dumb:

objdump --syms /boot/kernel/kernel | sed -n 's/.* O .* \([^_].*\)_driver$/\1/p' | sort -u
