Hmm; how did ctodd know they weren't?  I had one box that
seemed weird in that it couldn't kldload anything; I somehow
discovered that it had left /boot/kernel/ empty, but put all
the *ko's in /boot/modules/  (or was it the other way 'round??)

... Anyway, once I copied everything over to the other dir,
no problems with "kldload" (or sound, or ....)

Could this be what happened in this case?
