This is almost certainly a mismatch between the kernel version and a monitoring tool that is trying to inspect kernel state (specifically, retrieve process lists). If your buildworld/installworld doesn't match your kernel version, then you need to rebuild and make sure everything is in sync. If it does, it's probably a third-party package that is out of sync and needs updating. Robert N M Watson
