Okay, I found the problem. I seemed to have gotten a extra COPTFLAGS in the 
bottom of my make.conf with some weird opts. So the kernel was being
compiled with different optimizations then the world. 

This was fun. 

Thank you all for your help.

Hah! If they were going to do that, they'd be just as likely to buy some
extra rope to keep the pigs from getting out of their rooftop aviary.

I would like to thank everyone for their help in this matter. I have
followed your directions explicitly and still get the same errors with ps
and top. Could it be possible my procfs is corrupted. This is a standard
FreeBSD install Im not runing linux procfs and I do have procfs compiled
into the kernel. 

Could something not be getting updated? I'm very confused here and at a
complete loss.

I have a system that went from 3.0, through a bunch of upgrades to 3.5, to
4.0, now up to 4.2.  The 4.1.1 that was currently running seemed to work
OK, but if I did a build/install world/kernel for 4.2, ps, top, and a few
relatives died with some nlist error.

I finally fixed it with "rm -fR /usr/src", re-CVSup, and
rebuild...  SOMETHING wasn't getting updated as it should...

There are several possiblities..

1) You didn't cvsup everything (kernel and userland source)
2) You did cvsup everything OK but didn't build and/or install a new kernel AND
   userland (ie buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, installworld)
3) Someone broke stable.

I bet its 1 or 2 though :)

It sure sounds like your userland and kernel are out of sync.  Are you
absolutely sure you're building and installing a new kernel, and that you've
rebooted?  What's the timestamp on /kernel?

Interesting plight

2001-01-11 Thread Erich Zigler

A couple days ago I was mentioning about my ps and top problems. Well at the
advice of a FreeBSD user I went and installed the bin distribution for
4.2-RELEASE rebooted with the 4.2-RELEASE kernel and everything was golden.
I could ps and top and kill I was one happy guy.

Well I cvsup'ed my source tree, and went through the process as is outlined
in /usr/src/UPDATING of updating my source tree to 4.2-STABLE. I finish this
procedure, and ps and top fail to work. 

What is wrong?

Why will it work on 4.2-RELEASE but not 4.2-STABLE?
