It was 4.8 Stable at around the beginning of June before I rebuilt.

It was a fresh world and kernel, I was thinking it must be the kernel, as I have
an old 4.6 Release CD and mount from that also gives the same error.

I no longer have the old kernel, I should have kept it like I usually do, it
gave errors with ps and top with size missmatches, the only things that dont
work now are mount, df (unless you specify a directory) and umount.

So I'm assuming you don't have the same prob?

Thanks,

Steve.

ps/top size mismatches are another sign of improper upgrades, or not using
loader.

You might try rebuilding again, but don't use -j and make sure the install
succeeds.

Also for giggles try going into /sys/boot and doing 'make && make
install' to upgrade loader & friends.
