Cvsup, buildworld, installworld, buildkernel, installkernel worked fine. I didn't reboot and test the installation and on April 18 resup'ed and repeated the process - bad idea -- everything built except the kernel and now I am getting signal 4 dumps on fsck, sysctl, df, ps, dd, etc. I can't remember ever having signal 4 problems. I built a new release on Sunday night on another machine, burned a CD and tried doing a new install but it wouldn't write to the disk. (maybe the reported entropy problem) I did an update to April 18 but it still has the same signal 4 problem. I would certainly appreciate any suggestions as to what could cause the signal 4 dump. Could it be a hardware issue or could I have library issues between the versions? Thanks for your help, ed
