If you were doing a make world, it was replacing binaries as it compiled. So, if it isn't a hardware problem as the others have suggested, my guess is you replaced enough of your binaries to really hose the OS. That's why it's a really good idea to do the 'make buildworld' and 'make installworld' sequence separately, so you know if it's going to build BEFORE you start replacing your working operating system. All I can suggest is going back to your 4.1 CD and reinstalling that, and then trying the the cvsup, make buildworld, make installworld sequence again. You could also look at which files were replaced in your installed system, but that would take a long time.. :) Anyway, I hope this helps.
