Hi,
I was attempting to configure my nvidia gpu and after the next reboot the system wouldn't come up. While loading configured modules, it loads nvidia.ko, linux_common.ko, linux.ko and then tries to load 'kernel.'
loading required module 'kernel'
module 'kernel' exists but with wrong version
the system then freezes and I can not get it to go on. I figured I did something wrong and since this was a new install, I just did a fresh installed and tried again, following https://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php/Nvi ... stallation
I have an older card and read that I should use the 340 driver, so I installed the nvidia-driver-340-340.x driver, the nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig. I added kld_list="nvidia-modeset nvidia" to the rc.conf and nvidia_load="YES" to loader.conf. I ran nvidia-xconfig and rebooted.
I am not sure what the issue is, or if there's any way to get around this and bring the system up so I could backup out the change while I investigate further. Everything I've found about this error says that the boot should continue afterwards, but mine simply stops.
Thanks!
Patrick

Re: "module 'kernel' exists but with wrong version" after configuring nvidia drivers
nvidia-modeset is not part of the 340 drivers also it looks like the wiki is wrong.
If you use kldlist you cant use loader.conf.
I will fix the wiki page.

This worked great, thanks! I am surprised that attempting to load the wrong kernel module rendered the system unbootable.
