My problem was due to a non-sync between the world "version" and kernel "version". I was running FreeBSD 4.2 (or 4.4 - can't remember?) STABLE and had been making world a lot of times without recompiling the kernel. I then cvsup'ed the latest source and did a make world and built a new kernel. That solved my problems. Try to upgrade your system and see if it helps. Good luck! /Andreas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
