Re: elf syspatch on 7.5 stable. Unclear if properly installing. I reverted it.

Yes. That did the trick. But why?
I will look at the reorder_kernel carefully. Oh, I got it, for porting,
I have:


PORTS_PRIVSEP=Yes
SUDO=sudo -E
.include "/usr/ports/infrastructure/templates/mk.conf.template"

I won't be doing any porting on stable or syspatches on current. That
must intefer with the build after booting but not at the reorder during
booting.

As far as the dmesg's, I'll look back in the archives.
Wow do I feel better now. Panic averted.
