Anyone have any ideas?

At some point in time you or someone else might have NOT run "kmupdate" after rebuilding a new kernel. Hence the mismatch in kernel vs what's in /stand/dlkm (ie the dynamic-loadable-kenel-module table). I myself sometimes forgot and "sysdef" will then failed to work. To fix..
# cd /stand/build
# /usr/lbin/sysadm/system_prep -s system
# /usr/sbin/mk_kernel -s ./system
# /usr/sbin/kmupdate /stand/build/vmunix_test
Unfortunately you got to "shutdown -r" for this to be effective (or for the kernel to match up with the dlkm table).

The kmupdate was run and it was verified that sysdef worked...I am still having the problem...

seems that kmupdate was not executed.

1 sys_prep -v -s ./stand/build/system
2 mk_kernel -s ./stand/build/system
3 kmupdate
4 shutdown -ry 0

Hope this helps

You mean sysdef has been working since the last time your server rebooted and now it doesn't work, even though you did not do any kernel rebuilding since the last reboot ?
