I started a make buildworld and a make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNELNAME and went home. This morning, I dropped to single-user and did a make installworld followed by a make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNELNAME. I did a mergemaster, sync,sync,reboot. When the system came back up, I did a netstat -a to be sure that my network services were all running before leaving the machine room to go to my desk. Huh, that's weird, nothing running but syslog. tail -f /var/log/maillog and see mail is going out and in. uh, ok. ps ax|grep sendmail. ps: proc size mismatch (41184 total, 1060 chunks). OK, that means libkvm is out of sync so I go make that and remake ps. Same thing happens. Hrrm, uname -a: 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #1: Fri Mar 22 17:55:41 CSt 2002. Well that's not the kernel I installed and that isn't yesterday's date. date: Wed Jan 29 09:09:38 CST 2003 -- Clock's OK (better be or ntp is broken). Alright, surely something must have gone wrong with that installkernel let's just do another buildkernel and installkernel. Build goes w/o incident, drop to single and install. Reboot, same kernel. I have done this 100 times if I have done this once and I have never seen a kernel refuse to install. Can anybody point out what is wrong? Thanks, -- Joseph F.
