Description debolaz 2001-05-29 12:20:01 UTC 
In section 18.2 of the FreeBSD Developers Handbook, an example code for a generic device is shown. This code is invalid.

-->
DECLARE_MODULE(skeleton, skel_loader, SI_SUB_KLD, SI_ORDER_ANY);
<--

Should be replaced with

-->
static moduledata_t linux_elf_mod = {
        "linuxelf",
        linux_elf_modevent,
        0
};

DECLARE_MODULE(skeleton, skel_loader, SI_SUB_KLD, SI_ORDER_ANY);
<--

Fix: 

The line

-->
DECLARE_MODULE(skeleton, skel_loader, SI_SUB_KLD, SI_ORDER_ANY);
<--

Should be replaced with

-->
static moduledata_t skeleton_mod = {
	"skeleton",
	skel_loader,
	0
};

DECLARE_MODULE(skeleton, skeleton_mod, SI_SUB_KLD, SI_ORDER_ANY);
<--
How-To-Repeat: Just the code in 18.2 and try it to see the effect. :)
