What version of the system were you running when you cvsup'ed? When it comes to the kernel, a plain make doesn't cut it. If you are modifying an existing world and kernel, you can config, make depend, make, and make install for the kernel. At this point, I don't have any idea what you have and what you did because the side effects are different for 3.x and 4.x. > > Also, when I tried to list the running processes just now using ps I got > the error message 'ps: proc size mismatch (25056 total, 1056 chunks). Is > this related to not having rebuilt the kernel since making world? The sequence using buildkernel had you do a buildworld, build[install}kernel, and installworld. You have to use KERNEL=GENERIC if you haven't built your own config file. Now you have a world and a kernel that is out of step with each other and that produces messages like your are seeing.
