I had the same problem trying to upgrade to RELEASE_4, which is why I tried to downgrade back to 4.6 (the last known good version on this box). > Did you run buildworld first?

In thinking this over, I *may* have remembered a clue to what's going on. I was wrong in the original post about getting this error when trying to upgrade to 5.0. World and kernel built and installed without error, but the machine wouldn't boot. I went back to kernel.old, modules.old and etc.old (I backup etc before running mergemaster). I then renamed kernel.old, modules.old and etc.old (to kernel, modules, and etc). I've rebooted several times without incident and everything seems to be running fine (except updating the system). THEN, I tried upgrading to RELEASE_4 (then 4.7) and THAT'S when I first saw the "make: don't know how to make /usr/src/sys/sys/_types.h" message when building the kernel. I'm thinking there MUST be tons of out-of-sync stuff in the system from when I ran "make installword" in the earlier 5.0 update. I went back to the old kernel, modules and etc, but everything else is out-of-sync. This might be causing this problem. This isn't a production machine, I can wipe and re-install, but I'd rathe rnot have to do it. -- Michael A.
