On April 17 I tried updating an Athlon XP from a current
built at the end of february or the begining of march.
Cvsup, buildworld, installworld, buildkernel, installkernel
worked fine. I didn't reboot and test the installation and
on April 18 resup'ed and repeated the process - bad idea --
everything built except the kernel and now I am getting
signal 4 dumps on fsck, sysctl, df, ps, dd, etc. I can't
remember ever having signal 4 problems. I built a new
release on Sunday night on another machine, burned a CD and
tried doing a new install but it wouldn't write to the disk.
(maybe the reported entropy problem) I did an update to
April 18 but it still has the same signal 4 problem.
I would certainly appreciate any suggestions as to what
could cause the signal 4 dump. Could it be a hardware issue
or could I have library issues between the versions?
Thanks for your help,
ed
