After cvsuping and doing the usual make buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel, make installworld conked out, very late in the game by the looks of it. I wasn't able to capture the error message at the point of failure unfortunately. Now it's all fun and games with even 'ls' segfaulting and 'make clean' / 'make cleanworld' hanging with: "/usr/src/Makefile", line 91: warning: "/usr/bin/env -i PATH=3D/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin make -f /dev/null -V MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX dummy" returned non-zero status and no further output. This message: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20031114153630.GA28567 describes a similar situation, and suggests: "Reboot to single user mode and finish the installworld,=20 then boot multiuser and your fine again (hopefully)" Good advice or not? --=20 Juha
