Recently I've been trying to upgrade an early januarrry -current to current -current. I've rebuilt the kernel several times over the last few days (with new cvsup's) so i've eliminated any freak check-in mismatches.
During a make world (usually about 10-20 minutes in on my P100) everything just comes to a grinding halt. No disk activity, but the screen saver will kick in (despite the shell being in the middle of said make world). If I switch to any alternate consoles and try to do anything, even an ls, it accesses the disk for a brief second, then hangs as well. Other tasks that don't need to access the disk keep running (such as natd and obviously the screen saver). After waiting about a half hour, I hit the reset and get lots of UNREF FILE's and SUMMARY INFORMATION BAD and BLK(S) MISSING IN BIT MAPS. They all say slavaged or cleared. It doesn't appear to be a problem with the actual disk, since rebooting works fine until I try and build again. Even building the kernel works fine. but doing a make world does not (I don't know if anything else causes this). It never fails in the same place twice either, but it's always the same effect. Additionally, i've been getting No such user 'tty', service ignored messages from ntalk and comsat. I'm sure these services were updated to make use of some tty user or something, but i'd like to know what exactly I should do here. I'm also getting messages from de0 and lo0 that say: de0 XXX: driver didn't set ifq_maxlen Finally, if I try and run top i get: top: cannot read swaplist: kvm_read: Bad address kvm_open: proc size mismatch (11392 total, 680 chunks) top: Out of memory. I assume this is from a newer kernel with older support files (such as top) but since I can't get world to build, I'm kinda stuck.. One more thing. I figured I might try a complete reinstallation so I tried to download the 4.0-snap of 2-11 and was able to successfully create a kern.flp but when I tried to create mfsroot.flp it seems to sit in a loop forever just moving the disk head back and forth. I tried it with several floppies (including the one I was able to successfully create kern.flp on) with the same results.
