Hello,

using FreeBSD 4.0, generating and installing a new kernel
is just as easy as before.  But some programs do NOT work
any more: swapinfo, top, pstat,...  There is NO /var/db/kernel*.db
file any more.  These programs use the kvm_nfiles and other
functions which use the /var/db/kern*.db database.  But it is NOT
generated using the installation procdure.  Is something wrong?
The GENREIC kernel does what to do.

Thanks for help, Norbert

>How-To-Repeat:
Generate and install a new kernel then reboot and recall
swapinfo.

State-Changed-Why:  
kvm_kernel is no more (since 1.169 of sys/i386/conf/Makefile.i386), are 
you sure you're using 4.0, and that your userland and kernel are in 
sync?
