You listed there the following steps, which you claimed are outlined in UPDATING: make buildworld make installworld make buildkernel KERNEL= make installkernel KERNEL= However, that it not what UPDATING says at all. Maybe you mistyped what you actually did? If not, and you really did perform the above steps exactly as you wrote, then your kernel and userland are out of sync. Try the following (assuming a successful cvsup): rm -r /usr/obj/ # get rid of already compiled stuff cd /usr/src make buildworld # compile the world make buildkernel KERNEL=GENERIC # compile a kernel (you must specify one, # so start with GENERIC make installkernel KERNEL=GENERIC # install the GENERIC kernel now reboot into single-user mode and then... cd /usr/src make installworld # install the world mergemaster # merge your config files, etcetera If these steps (in this order!) are what you've already done, let us know. Otherwise, do them exactly in this order and you will have the same version kernel and userland. Good luck.
