I have been trying to reconfigure a kernel (to install SunLink/DNI) and
most things go OK except for 'ps' or 'w' that produce a 'segmentation
fault' and complain about problems in accessing /dev/drum and /dev/kmem.

After giving up with this, we tried to configure a GENERIC kernel (w/o
SunLink/DNI) and now no errors are found but ps produces NO output but the
header. 'w' does not seem to be producing correct answers either (7000+
days up time, etc).

We have restored libraries and reconfigured to no avail. We have used a
different WS to configure the kernel as well.

Now we have come to the point that we cannot produce a completely
functional kernel for 3.5. We had already done this for 3.2 without
problems, but it is our first try with 3.5.

Has anyone run into this problem and would like to help us?
