   @joel

   Its AGAIN the problem that FreeBSD project does not want to solve - for the short 3 months period (when 14.1 is still in support) the packages for 14.2 - including kernel related packages such as drm-kmod - are built against 14.1 kernel sources ... which give result such as yours.

   The solutions are:

   - do not upgrade to 14.2 when 14.1 is in support + 1 week so new packages in 'latest' branch gets build

   - rebuild 'drm-kmod' packages from Ports:
   # make -C /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod build deinstall install clean

   - use GhostBSD as 'base' for desktop - I mean use GhostBSD repositories and kernel - they always build packages against the RIGHT sources.

   I try to at least 'force' FreeBSD related people to switch 'latest' branch to always build against the latest FreeBSD - 14.2 now - and to keep 'quarterly' on older still supported for 3 months - 14.1 in that case ... but they would not listen to me.

     @vermaden @joel There was a recent and sudden change in the primary release engineer for FreeBSD, so I think if there's problems with the release process it's due to a badly communicated process - we should probably specifically figure out what that error is?

     @silverwizard @joel @vermaden This issue predates Colin's tenure as lead release engineer. It's not new, but is exacerbated by more frequent releases.

     @emaste @vermaden @joel Cool - I wasn't sure - but it's always worth mentioning changes near the problem.
