running 7.0 because when I try to load fusefs with this command, kldload
/usr/local/modules/fuse.ko I get the following error:

either, because then that error message is printed on the console.

How did you install the fusefs-kmod was it from a package or did you
build it through the ports system?

The most likely cause of this error is due to the fuse.ko module was
not built against the same source as your kernel.  Rebuild fusefs-kmod
and that should resolve the problem.

Hi Scot,

I installed it from ports. I think as a dependency on fusefs-ntfs?
I will rebuild my system as I upgraded lately from 6.3 to 7, but 
I'm sure I just followed the handbook and did everything allright.
Will post the results when I try this again afterwards.
