Hi,
installing kernel ends with errors (I build only kernel):

ldxref /boot/kernel
kldxref: error while reading 
/boot/kernel/iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-46.ucode.ko: Bad address
kldxref: error while reading 
/boot/kernel/iwlwifi-9260-th-b0-jf-b0-46.ucode.ko: Bad address

And loading module does not do anything:

49    1 0xffffffff83815000    6cc10 if_iwl.ko (/boot/kernel/if_iwl.ko)
         Contains modules:
