ps: proc size mismatch

[Chris Pepper]

	I last did a buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, 
installworld in December (from current STABLE sources via cvsup). I 
tried again a few weeks ago and today, and after booting to 
single-user get errors from ps about /proc ("ps: proc size mismatch").

	uname from my working kernel & world is:

FreeBSD www.reppep.com 4.7-STABLE FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE #0: Tue Dec  3 
14:05:51 EST 2002 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/REPPEP  i386
Commands I ran to update (in December successfully, and twice 
unsuccessfully this month):

# more Makefile UPDATING
# mergemaster -p ; make buildworld > ~/buildworld-20030221.log ; make 
buildkernel > ~/buildkernel-20030221.log # mergemaster found no 
changes
# mergemaster -p # no changes found
# make installkernel

	Searching the web, I see many people saying if ps complains 
about a mismatch, your world is out of sync with the kernel 
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html> 
& 
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-trouble.html#KERNELCONFIG-NOBOOT>. 
I know that, because I haven't done "make installworld yet", but I'm 
trying to validate the new kernel first. Unfortunately, there isn't 
much info on how to validate the kernel (if it boots to the shell, is 
it fine??).

	Is there anything else I should test before make installworld?

						Thank you,

                                            Chris Pepper
