Re: OpenBSD-2.7/i386 machine hangs up!

You will almost certainly have to upgrade the entire system, since the
userland and kernel in OpenBSD are much more closely coupled than they are
in Linux.  I know in 2.6 that ps(1) would quit working if you upgraded the
kernel and didn't upgrade the userland.  I would definately recommend
updating both.  The easiest way would be to upgrade to a snapshot.
