I had a very similar problem to yours on one machine but I had another that I did as above so I just copied the new kernel form the machine that was update correctly to the one I had screwed up. It then ran fine but since I hadn't finished an installworld I still seemed to have binaries that gave me a signal 11 so I couldn't do an installworld. I just used scp -rp and copied /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /lib /usr/lib from the good machine and everything worked perfectly. I was then able to do a new cvsup - make world and kernel with no problem. I've been updating it daily just to be sure. I hope this helps. > >Anyway I was nearly through wothout a kernel been built yet >and the binaries were already installed.
