I tried again a few weeks ago and today, and after booting to single-user get errors from ps about /proc ("ps: proc size mismatch"). uname from my working kernel & world is: >FreeBSD www.reppep.com 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #0: Tue Dec 3 >14:05:51 EST 2002 >root@www.reppep.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/REPPEP i386 Commands I ran to update (in December successfully, and twice unsuccessfully this month): # more Makefile UPDATING # mergemaster -p ; make buildworld > ~/buildworld-20030221.log ; make buildkernel > ~/buildkernel-20030221.log # mergemaster found no changes # mergemaster -p # no changes found # make installkernel Searching the web, I see many people saying if ps complains about a mismatch, your world is out of sync with the kernel & . I know that, because I haven't done "make installworld yet", but I'm trying to validate the new kernel first. Unfortunately, there isn't much info on how to validate the kernel (if it boots to the shell, is it fine??). Is there anything else I should test before make installworld?
