None of the information you provided in your above output, however, shows anything about the filesystem (other than /usr/bin/make). But this sounds honestly like some sort of corrupted supdb, or a cvsup mirror that's broken. I would do the following: rm -fr /usr/src/* rm -fr /var/db/sup/src-all csup -h <cvsupserver> -L 2 -g /usr/share/examples/stable-supfile I can assure you /sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC exists, and is on the cvsup mirrors. > * I reboot the machine (because of I suspect a very weird FS problem), > boot in single user mode and do a 'fsck -fy'.

Superblock problems wouldn't explain this; there are hundreds of superblocks available (you wouldn't be able to use your machine if they were all horked). -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
