Heres the score: While trying to update my freebsd server from 3.4-stable to 3.5 stable, something got corrupted. After downloading the sources and running a make buildworld, I happened to run ps to check if apache was still running. To my surprise, I got the following error: ps: proc size mismatch (4984 total, 1048 chunks) Think that all that was need was a reboot, I did exactly that, only to find that the machine would not start normally. It starts booting normally, only to fail after probing the hardware with the following: .... changing root device to wd0s1a pid 5 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 12 Jul 19 12:06:02 init: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to single user mode Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: Any attempt to run /bin/sh gives: pid (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 12 I can run /bin/csh, but if I try a make or similar such thing I get similar errors, and any attempt to run ps gives the same proc mismatch error. I am fumbling around in the dark at the moment, so any help would be great. Thanks in advance, and sorry if this isn't the right list to post this to... .hasta luego Scott Dukes (scott@kryptonite.co.za) blue.Kryptonite (http://blue.Kryptonite.co.za/) .a: 161 Tenth Ave, Morningside, Durban, 4001 .p: +27 31 312 1122 .f: +27 31 312 1122 .c: +27 83 661 3880 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
