Hi,
I recently upgraded my FreeBSD 8.1 installation to FreeBSD 9 current via
buildworld and buildkernel. I was able to one general ports, src and doc
update by cvsup but now I am getting the following error message when I
do a src update.

cvsup srcsupfile
Connected to cvsup2.FreeBSD.org
Updating collection src-all/cvs
Edit src/bin/ps/extern.h
Illegal instruction

I am new to the mailing list. Is this a known error?
Is this an error to do with the source tree or an issue on my end?

Just for reference, the contents of my supfile are

*default tag=.
*default host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/var/db
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
src-all
ports-all
doc-all

Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Ralph Ellis

Are you using cvsup or csup? Have you recompiled cvsup in case you use that? What's in your make.conf file?
Illegal instruction is usually because the program is compiled for another CPU than what it's running on. It can also be that syscalls has changed, but then it usually complains about that.
When doing a major version upgrade, you usually have to recompile all ports.
Hope this helps!
