I'm trying to upgrade to 4.1.1-RELEASE through my cable modem to the standard FTP site. Everything is fine until about halfway through the "Extracting bin into / directory" stage when I get a: (date) (time) /kernel: pid 355 (sh) uid 0: exited on signal 12 (core dumped) error. It still continues however I get a few more of those errors but with pid 357 (sh), pid 358 (gunzip), and finally pid 359 (cpio) at which time it finally stops and gives me a "Broken Pipe" error. I don't think the kernel is active afterwards because it doesn't recognize any commands I give it afterwards, even "shutdown". I am running a standard home built Pentium 500 with 128 Mg SDRAM and a 13 Gig HD partitioned with Win98 on 9Gigs and a 4Gig partition for FreeBSD. Everything runs fine and I really love FreeBSD but I can't get it upgraded to the latest version because of this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also let me know if there's any further information that you need.
