kldload exec format error on amd64 freebsd-7.1-rc2

[Christof Schulze]

Hello Everyone,

this is my first post to the list so I hope I am not asking a dumb
question even though I searched.

I am trying to get the Ricoh SD Card reader
sdhci0 at pci0:5:9:2:      class=0x080500 card=0xc024144d chip=0x08221180
rev=0x18 hdr=0x00
to work with the driver written by Alex Motin.
The sdhci and mmc code compiles fine and loads into my kernel.
The mmcsd module which as I understand things is needed to recognize
an inserted SD Card, attach a device name to it etc compiles fine (I
ran make clean beforehand) but I cannot kldload it:

# kldload mmcsd
kldload: can't load mmcsd: Exec format error

# dmesg |tail
g_vfs_done():acd0[READ(offset=530432, length=2048)]error = 5
g_vfs_done():acd0[READ(offset=530432, length=2048)]error = 5
g_vfs_done():acd0[READ(offset=530432, length=2048)]error = 5
g_vfs_done():acd0[READ(offset=530432, length=2048)]error = 5
g_vfs_done():acd0[READ(offset=530432, length=2048)]error = 5
g_vfs_done():acd0[READ(offset=530432, length=2048)]error = 5
link_elf_obj: symbol kproc_create undefined
kldload: /boot/kernel/mmcsd.ko: Unsupported file type
link_elf_obj: symbol kproc_create undefined
kldload: /boot/kernel/mmcsd.ko: Unsupported file type

I ran out of ideas and things to try so maybe someone on this list
still has more ideas than I do and is willing to share them.
I would greatly appreciate it and of course I will provide further
info if needed.

These are the stats for the system:
