I've R'd the FM, I've searched the mailing list archives and I've tried the various suggestions, but I still get "bad namelist". I had 4.2 RC1 and cvsup'd 4.2-stable today (12/7), I built the world according to the instructions, executed mergemaster, double checked the results, updated dev, rebuilt my kernel using the "buildkernel" and "installkernel" targets. What did I miss? One poster suggested removing /var/run/utmp, touching it and rebooting. That didn't work. I also tried unmounting /proc, removing it from /etc/fstab, rebooting, putting /proc back in and rebooting. Still ps, top, etc. all say "bad namelist". What is the solution? Please help! fwiw, here is what "uname -a" produces: FreeBSD xxx 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Thu Dec 7 18:01:01 PST 2000 root@xxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 My SMP file is GENERIC with the following additions: cpu I686_CPU ident SMP maxusers 256 options VFS_AIO options SMP options APIC_IO Thank you for any help.
