	Yes.  I followed the directions in the /usr/src/UPDATING file that
I have followed at least 8 times previously and successfully on this very
same server over the last few years.

cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile (after editing)
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=ZEUS
make installkernel KERNCONF=ZEUS
reboot (single user)
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot

	I have tried simple kernel recompiles since then.  I am currently
in the process of recompiling the entire OS via a third instance of the
above procedure.

	I understand.  Its just frustrating.

	Let's start from the other end, though.  From where does uname
draw its data?  With that information, I might be able to track down the
problem.
