Roundcat, you may have stated your older kernel was from Jan 1, but the dmesg you posted was built November 18. There have been three changes in the Following -current FAQ since then, but none of those three look flag day-like to me. Flag days require some sort of bootstrap build when updating from source rather than from binaries.

Even so, J65's recommendation -- installing from binary snapshot -- is a good one, as we don't know how many architectural changes you've missed since you first moved to -current.
My bad on the kernel.. I had backed up the kernel the *last* time I tried this
and it was on January 1 and again I tried on Feb 23.

I will go find the info J65 recommended regarding the non-develper path..

Guys.. thanks so much for your help here..
