I'm afraid I'm getting a nasty error when I try to do some very fundamental things. Not sure what's back of all the problems.
For example when I try to start vim or even xinit, I get: Jun 23 12:00:12 juno /kernel: pid 2700 (vim), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (I happened to be root at the time, but same applies to any user.) When I try to startx, I get: Bus error uname -a shows: FreeBSD juno.dsj.net 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #7: Sun Apr 28 15:23:53 EDT 2002: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/JUNO i386 I do find .core files for proggies I cannot start, though. I went gdb vim vim.core and got the following: ***snip*** (no debugging symbols found) Core was generated by 'vim'. Program terminated with signal 10, Bus error.

Hope I got it correctly. Any idea what is back of this? Does it look like some file corruption to ld-elf.so.1? How the heck do I fix that if so? I tried to remake a kernel a while back and couldn't even complete that process. (sniff, sniff) What type of stuff uses ld-elf.so.1 anyway? Everything? TIA. -- David S.
