Copy your kernel config to a safe place 2. rm -r /usr/src/sys 3. Reinstall the kernel sources I've found this is a pretty good solution for problematic compiles, when the config file is OK. Did you compare your matcd0 line to the one in LINT and made sure there were no changes? > I have tested Xinsides X-Server and a few other programs and have had no > problems or core dumps or anything of that nature.
