Folks,

I tried to cvsup "upgrade" my 2.1.5-STABLE system and I'm having trouble. 
I did a "make world" which completed fine.  However, ps, top, gated and
networking did not work until a rebuilt a new kernel. Also, most programs
that I installed, like joe, emacs, etc.  all reported out of memory. Is
that normal for a 2.1 to 2.2 upgrade?

I recompiled the kernel and all was well except the make install.  That
reported a "syntax" error.  However, it did boot the system. Now, while the
network cards work, gated doesn't.  It croaks with a sig 11.  Also, top
reports swap use at 121% and the output is garbled ($%%##@! oot 12*).
Terminal sessions seem o.k.

Am I required to recompile all my apps and ports to use 2.2-RELEASE? Or did
I miss a step somewhere?

Thanks,

Craig
