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=3DZEUS make installkernel KERNCONF=3DZEUS 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 have to ask simple questions; the problem, if not simple, is = flat-out weird. 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. Jaime
