hi,
well, at least for allwinner, even running /etc/rc.d/kldxref has no effect,
I noticed this when trying out a wifi dongle,
...
Starting devd.
Autoloading module: if_rtwn_usb.ko
warning: KLD '/boot/kernel/wlan.ko' is newer than the linker.hints file
warning: KLD '/boot/kernel/rtwn.ko' is newer than the linker.hints file
…
the link.hints is indeed very old :
neo-000# ls -ls /boot/kernel/linker.hints
224 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 228972 Jan 1 2010 /boot/kernel/linker.hints
and strangely, other modules loaded did not complain.
how can this be fixed?
thanks,
danny
