Hallo!

I run FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE and was still using the old linux_lib port, so
I thought that the easiest way to get the correct glibc for
Framemaker/Linux was to remove the linux_lib port and use the new
linux_base 6.1 port.

The installation of this port fails, however, because invocation of
/compat/linux/bin/bash fails with "Bad system call (core dumped)". This
first happens during the installation phase when the bash rpm package
is being installed. (/compat/linux/bin/bash is already the bash from
this rpm package - of course I deleted the old linux_lib /compat/linux
tree before installing the new one)

I assume the problem is that my linux kernel module is too old. Is
there an easiy way to update *only* the linux.ko kernel module without
having to do a full cvsup and make world to get to FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE?
I don't want to touch the base system currently, but an updated Linux
emulator would be great.

Viele Gr=FC=DFe,
Tobias
