The .ko files have a Nov 3 2005 date, whereas the files in /boot including the kernel directory have a May 6 2006 date. I take it that Nov 3 means 6.0-RELEASE since the announcement was done on Nov 4. So, I guess I'm back to the question of how to do a binary upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1 (and particularly where is this documented). Should I attempt another sysinstall Upgrade?

Show me

sysctl kern.version

kern.version: FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 3 09:36:13 UTC 2005
root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC

Note, btw that the manpages (at least the one for sysctl) show 6.1-RELEASE at the bottom, confirming that parts of the base were indeed updated.

and the output of a failed package fetch.

I'll try to send that a little later but seeing the above, shouldn't I just retry the binary upgrade and if so, what precautions should I take? I'm thinking of skipping the install of X.org so that no package conflicts turn up.
