It was not an incorrectly updated /etc as I previously reported. So when I upgraded from a Cyrix to a Pentium, I had to recompile my kernel because I was changing from a 486 to a 586 (as the kernel options put it). So I did cd /sys/i386/conf /usr/sbin/config MONT cd ../../compile/MONT make depend make make install What I think I should have done, before running the second command is: rm -r ../../compile/MONT That is, I was hoping to reduce the amount of time to compile the kernel by only recompiling the bits I need. But I guess an action as changing from a 486 to a 586 is such that make will not recompile all the bits that need recompiling. Well, that is what I think it was. I have not had the problems since. Hope this might help someone else who falls into the same trap as I did. -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu 307 Math Science Building stephen@showme.missouri.edu Department of Mathematics stephen@missouri.edu University of Missouri-Columbia Columbia, MO 65211 USA Phone (573) 882 4540 Fax (573) 882 1869 http://math.missouri.edu/~stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
