Hi all,

	The problem was that I had stripped my kernel. (My root partition
is currently at 99%). I installed an unstripped kernel and have been
able to run top and dmesg fine.

The following error message was lost in the boot messages:

kvm_mkdb: /kernel: stripped: Inappropriate file type or format

In my experimenting with stripped kernels, I was able to get one
to run top and dmesg, but can't reproduce that at the moment.
I'll keep playing around and see if I can do it again.

Thanks for the help,

	Michael
