Updating your kernel too may break things like ps if there have been changes to the kvm interface. Or it may not: you could always save your old module/kernel, update them and see if it works, and drop back to the old ones if not. It shouldn't cause any damage other than certain binaries not working (at worst). cvsup your kernel sources and rebuild the appropriate bit (sys/modules/linux or the usual procedure for rebuilding the kernel) Kris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
