Thanks for the advice,
To the best of my knoledge Kernel 2.6.15.1 was downloaded and installed.
I haven't made any change with respect to devfs or udev. How should i
make the migration? And I haven't used etc-update. What should I start
with?
Again thanks from Fredrik

Did you update the kernel version? Are you still using devfs? If so,
devfs has been removed from current kernels and you need to migrate to
udev.
Also, be sure to run etc-update, and fixup your configuration files in
/etc/conf.d. Lots of stuff moved from /etc/rc.conf to /etc/conf.d/
files in the last 6 months, so you may have some issue there.
Particularly there were changes in baselayout that decide whether to
startup devfs or udev.
