Re: ps problems (explained) In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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'?
