It happens because the newly built shell makes a system call that your 3.x kernel lacks. (Signal 12 is unimplemented system call.) I thought I was going to have to upgrade from CD, but after a little thought, I was able to work around this because I *also* had the 3.x sources in /usr/src3 (I was feeling paranoid, and I'm glad). I went into /usr/src3/bin/sh and did a make install -- that restored a good shell. Then it went back to my 4.1 sources and did a make installkernel, did the rest of the steps to install the new kernel as /kernel, and rebooted single-user. I was then able to make installworld. If you do not have the 3.x sources available, you will probably have to boot from a CD and do an upgrade install of 4.0 or 4.1-RELEASE, then re-cvsup, rebuild your world and kernel, and install your kernel before doing your installworld. -- Fred Condo + fred@condo.chico.ca.us This above all -- to thine own self be true. -- Wm.
