Hi.

I cvsuped to FreeBSD 5.0 and i followed the instructions given in
/usr/src/UPDATING. buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel went fine. Ok,
i had to do a lot of changes in my kernelconfig to get it built and
installed, but it went without a major problem. 

So, i switched to single user mode to do a mergemaster -p and an
installworld. With "installworld" i got these errors:
[So that was my fault, i misunderstood UPDATING and thought that i have
only to switch from multi user to single user (i did not see the
"reboot" ;))]

Checking to see if your booted Kernel is fresh enough..
/usr/obj/usr/src/bin/sh/sh -c 'echo "Testing installed kernel fpr new
sigaction(2) syscall"' pid 60424/sh),uid0: exited on signal 12 (core
dumped) Bad system call (core dumped)
***Error code 140
Stop in /usr/src
***Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src

Well, ok, i read the first line and booted my machine, so that the new
Kernel can boot. Also if the machine will not boot correctly i will fall
to single user mode. This happend. Back in single user mode i did a
second "installworld", and, surprise surprise, it worked without errors.
Ok, i rebooted the machine.

So, now on bootup i get these messages:

link_elf: symbol lminor undefined
link_elf: symbol splhigh undefined

And if i want to login, i get these:

login: $MYNAME
login:in openpam_load_module(): no pam:skey.so found
login:pam_start(): failed to load module

I cant login.
So, does this mean, some modules are missing? And how do i get the
system back running perfectly? 

And, a third error message appears on boottime:

Warning: userland calling deprecated sysctl, please rebuild world

Well, i booted the machine back in single user mode, mount all the
devices, and did a buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, mergemaster
and installworld again. The result? The same errors, plus something
other i did not recognize the first time (but was there):

When i use /usr/sbin/mergemaster -p i cant scroll the passwd down with
the arrow keys. If i open a config file with the vi, it looks a bit
strange, i cant move around in there and the config stuff is not one by
line, it looks a bit shaked. If i run /usr/sbin/mergemaster after
installworld, i get an error "can't cd to /usr/src/etc". Strange. 

So, any help out there?

Thanks in advance.
