No, that's what the "buildkernel" target is for. It uses the binaries built (but not installed) by buildworld to build the kernel. This is why you need to use buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/installworld when upgrading the sources, but can use config/make depend/make/make install when rebuilding a kernel from installed sources. <mike > > FreeBSD - The BEST upgrade you can do to NT! > > On Sat, 2 Dec 2000, Kevin Oberman wrote: > > > > Date: Sat, 02 Dec 2000 09:40:38 +0800 > > > From: Spades <spades@galaxynet.org> > > > Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > > > > > I installed a 30G hard drive and cvsup'd to 4.2-Stable > > > When i do top , i get this below > > > > > > $ top > > > top: nlist failed > > > > As other have reported, userland and the kernel are out of sync.
