>Description:
Hello.

I am having bizarre problems using system statistic utilities with my FreeBSD 4.5 system:

================================
bash-2.05a$ top
top: nlist failed

bash-2.05a$ systat
(no output whatsoever)

bash-2.05a$ vmstat
vmstat: undefined symbols:
 _kmemstatistics _bucket _zlist 
================================

I originally made a minimal install of FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE through FTP (off the official FreeBSD.Org ftp site). Right after the install, I tried these commands and go the issues mentioned above. I proceeded to install the ports collection, installed several applications, CVSupped the source for -STABLE, rebuilt the world and kernel. Nothing. I waited a few more days, CVSupped again, rebuild the world/kernel again. Nothing. Same problem.

I have absolutely no idea what could possibly be
causing this and I would really appreciate help. The problem persists, no matter whether I use my own custom kernel or a GENERIC one, so it's not kernel-config related. Anyways, here's some info on my current system.

dmesg output:

Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Sincerely,

>How-To-Repeat:
Acquire the hardware seen in dmesg, install the bare-bone minimal system off an FTP. Try running "top", "systat" or "vmstat". I haven't tried doing a complete reinstall, so I am not sure whether it would fix it.
