Dino,

I don't know if it's possibly related but IIRC the SCHED_ULE scheduler
is deprecated for use in 6.* (I stand to be corrected!:) although I
believe it works with 7.*

So I suggest trying SCHED_4BSD and see if that works better.

As to the specific error, it looks like you might need:

options NETGRAPH

in your kernel conf. See: netgraph(4)

You might also want to use the tag: RELENG_6_4 for your source
supfile. I'm pretty sure there is a 6.4 branch now the BETA has come
out.

Regards,

Hi Frank,

It worked!
Thanks for the tips. I've reenabled sched_bsd and added 
options NETGRAPH. The latter is strange though, because I managed 
to compile the p1 kernel in the past without it, so why would that
fail now?

Anyway, it worked so I can look at my other problems now.
This machine was disconnected from the internet a few months so I
had a very long package list that needed to be updated.

Thanks for your reply!

Dino
