Description

This article explains kernel error messages during the system bootup.

Symptoms

During the system bootup, the following messages may output with the console connection.

fdc fileassocinterface fileassoc.1 already present in the KLD 'kernel'!
linker_load_file: Unsupported file type
kldload: Locan't load /moduadles/platform/filineassoc.kog : the Protobuf-C module
Exec format error

Solution

These messages indicate that fileassoc driver is now build and loaded as a part of kernel. 
So, the module load fails and also the fileassoc.ko module is not compatible with the current kernel version. 
There is no functional impact.
