Hi folks -- sorry to be a nag, but my main production system is barely
limping along on an old kernel with mismatched libraries. I have no
idea what else to do -- please help!

I'm upgrading 5-stable (was at 5.5) to 6-stable, in preparation for
6-stable to 7-stable.
No problems with cvsup, make buildworld, make installworld, make
buildkernel, mergemaster -p.
make installkernel, boot to single user. Then mergemaster -- blammo:
What is your exact make sequences are?
I usually do this way:
# csup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
# cd /usr/src
here I usually softlink my kernel config file in /root directory to
appropriate architecture one and edit /etc/make.conf:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUP_UPDATE=yes
SUPHOST=cvsup.no.FreeBSD.org
SUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile
PORTSSUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
DOCSUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile
KERNCONF=KERNEL
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf
KERNEL -> /root/kernel/KERNEL
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel
# make buildworld
# mergemaster -p
# make installworld
# mergemaster
NOTE: I do not reboot my system until everything is updated. Why it is
necessary to boot new kernel and then upgrade world is beyound me..YMMW
