The only way I can think for this to happen is if your source tree

inconsistent (i.e. not completely updated), or you updated your

'safe' buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel method you used to begin
with should still work).

Well, I tried makeworld again. Dies in Step 3. Reloaded all source from the distribution CD. makeworld dies in exactly the same place:
Really, this all points to something else having changed on your system in the meantime. Try
cd /usr/src make cleandir make cleandir make buildworld

Wish I had seen that earlier. I just tried a cvs from RELENG_5_3. I thought that would only have security fixes. Its downloading a ton of stuff. Obviously I can't stop it. Seems like just about all the userland source files are being changed. Lots of deletes too. I'll give the above a try when this finishes. Why so many files from cvs?
The number of changes between RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE and RELENG_5_3 is very small. If you're seeing lots of changes, it means that you didn't actually have a 5.3-RELEASE source tree installed before now, which explains the problems you were seeing in compiling it.

Thats interesting. I was using the 5.3 release CD. The checksums match those listed. It was installed onto a re-formatted drive as I wanted the UFS-2. The source was installed as part of the original installation. Anyway, either the cvsup or the cleandirs worked. I was able to buildworld and a new kernel. Installation of both appears to have gone correctly. uname gives the new kernel and strings of /boot/kernel/kernel also shows the new name. uname before said 5.3-RELEASE. It would appear that when I build the production systems I will immediately after instalation cvsup to RELENG_5_3 and then run make cleandir before anything else. Fortunately right now I am playing with test systems.
It it at all possible to not have to buildworld when building a new kernel? For example, I was trying to add option atapicam. It would seem that buildworld would not be necessary in that situation.
