Note that this method is likely to have problems going from 5.1 to 5.2
on i386 due to ld.so changes, I would strongly recommend people have
console access and remote reboot for this particular upgrade. (just i386;
amd64 is not affected by that particular change). The problem I'm
thinking of is not the one you are seeing though.

The rest of the information in that message might be useful.
And of course other standard information:

- How old was the working version?
- What are you updating to now?
- Which arch?

Can't say from the information given. Did you save an old kernel/bsd.rd?
Does that fail too?

Probably better to report the two problems separately, the problem with
building/using java isn't of much use to people who might look at the
kernel crash, and vice-versa.
