What is the output of  'sysctl compat.linux.osrelase'?

It shoud give you 2.4.2.

See the following post from a user who had the same problem:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2003-July/000103.html

Make sure your not setting compat.linux.osrelease in your /etc/sysctl.conf file.
