I was doing an upgrade to several servers, and one of them I accidentally cvsupped from RELENG_5_2 to RELENG_5_1, did a normal buildworld/kernel, install kernel/world, and lastly a reboot. When I realized that I had accidentally downgraded, I tried to upgrade, cvsup ran fine. But now buildworld, and tons of other commands [w,config,man,ifconfig,etc.etc.] dont' work, or just core dump on me with "Bad System Call".
Question: Even though I downgraded, the system should function right? I ran through the normal steps of buildworld/kernel, then intall world/kernel, all of these ran fine and I had a final " && reboot". Upon reboot, httpd [apache], mysql, sendmail and tons of other apps are core dumping now. I can't rebuild world to 5.2, because, well the apps are core dumping on me. I do 'ls -l /boot/kernel' and 'ls -l /bin/any_app', the modification dates are within several minutes of each other, hence I'm sure that kernel, and world got built with same sources. Tomorrow I go to server room and do binary upgrade to 5.3 BETA 4, but overall this has been driving me nuts, as to why it won't work... Any suggestions/ideas much appreciated.
