Then that's the mistake. Propper procedure is to make world and making and installing a new kernel (or make buildworld which is no problem during multi user, making a new kernel and then installing both in single user) to have the user land programs match the kernel. Often the shortcut of updating just the kernel works but that is not guaranteed. If you actually did it the propper way you might have missed an update to dmesg while getting the one to the kernel or vice versa due to bad timing for CVSUp. Imagine you CVSUp after the kernel update but before the server got the update to dmesg. Then the cure is to CVSUp again and remake the world. But it's not that likely I think. > > anyone know how to fix this? > > I tryed reinstalling the bin in /usr/src 2.2.6-RELEASE or 2.2-stable binaries?
