Did you took the same steps as I did? Which are, again:
1- cvsup the new sources
2- make buildworld
3- shutdown or reboot in single-user mode
4- make installworld
5- update /etc and /dev
6- build and install a new kernel
I also made the following guesses:
A- mv /var/run/utmp /tmp; touch /var/run/utmp
B- umount /proc and remove /proc from /etc/fstab then reboot without
mounting /proc, then put /proc back in fstab and reboot
I don't know how valid is the "B" step, but that's one thing that made ps
work.
and for the "A" part, uptime and such things would not work before I do
this.
Hope this helps. What is the output of 'ps', 'uptime' and maybe 'last'?
