First, lkm's are not used in the kernel anymore.  Second, lkm's do not
make their symbols available for debugging.  Finally, lkm's are loaded/linked
by user programs outside the kernel and can get confused if the kernel you
booted is not /kernel

The coda/ in the kernel should be adequate to run coda 5.  There is no
separate module made available in the coda kernel source tree.  The
module source is maintained with the freebsd -current sources.

Does Coda 5 work with the freebsd kernel lkm module?

Again, this should work.  If the running coda client does not like the kernel
module it is running with, it will complain.

I'm guessing that you have a rather old 3.0.  Modules generate kld's not lkm's.  I
don't see why the above is happening.  When I build on my machine it just works.
My kernel tree is a bit old from 01/15/

Again, just try the coda5 with the lkm module you have.
