hi ng,

i found always the same answer for my question but i don't know how to
use the answer.
first at all my question:

my os: freebsd 4.3
if i use top or systat, i get errors:

$ top
top: nlist failed

$ systat
systat: nlist: can't find following symbols:
_ccpu
_fscale

i know what the faq says -
kernel and userland are not synchronized

is it possible to check this?
is it necessary o build a new kernel?

thnx for any answer

hendrik

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Have a look at the date and time ls shows you with your files. If
there's a difference of more than a few minutes, the files don't seem to
be installed from the same build (they _could_ be, though one usually
installs kernel and world together).
However, there's still the possibility that your last update (if you did
any) of /usr/src was incomplete, but you were able to successfully build
and install world and kernel.

Quote:> is it necessary o build a new kernel?

Maybe it would be a good idea to cvsup /usr/src and rebuild both world
and kernel.
