That would be surprising but it may have happened, as I don’t remember without doubts to have run installworld :/

Indeed I do not have COMPAT_FREEBSD10, because I believed my previous world revision was >302092, as noted by the entry about pipe(2) in UPDATING.

Any suggestion on how to fix this?
Boot the old kernel, add COMPAT_FREEBSD10 to kernel config, and rebuild/install world and kernel perhaps?

Thanks for the help!
