I went back and looked at your first email about ps and top. You listed
there the following steps, which you claimed are outlined in UPDATING:
make buildworld
make installworld
make buildkernel KERNEL=
make installkernel KERNEL=
However, that it not what UPDATING says at all. Maybe you mistyped what
you actually did? If not, and you really did perform the above steps
exactly as you wrote, then your kernel and userland are out of sync.
Try the following (assuming a successful cvsup):
rm -r /usr/obj/ # get rid of already compiled stuff
cd /usr/src
make buildworld # compile the world
make buildkernel KERNEL=GENERIC # compile a kernel (you must specify one,
# so start with GENERIC
make installkernel KERNEL=GENERIC # install the GENERIC kernel
now reboot into single-user mode and then...
cd /usr/src
make installworld # install the world
mergemaster # merge your config files, etcetera
If these steps (in this order!) are what you've already done, let us
know. Otherwise, do them exactly in this order and you will have the
same version kernel and userland.
Good luck.
Tim
