Reboots are needed - What Boris is stating (and I agree) is frop the other crap your doing. IE: "2. After installkernel, I rebooted to single-user mode with the new kernel, adjkerntz -i, fsck -p, mount -u /, mount -a, swapon -a, /usr/local/bin/bash and follow your steps until make installworld." > > As per Chris' reply, I did everything in single-user > because in my machine I have only 512MB RAM, I use > KDE, if I compile on multi-user mode it goes into > swapping and makes the compilation very long. KDE has nothing to do with this, unless you have /etc/ttys hacked to start kdm on boot OR you are using root as a common user. If KDM is not being used, loggin in as root provides a shell - this is what you ought to be doing. I hope you not logging in a a user (into KDE) then doing your upgrade in a term as root. -- Best regards, Chris C-3PO: R2 says that the chances of survival are 725 to 1.
