[ML] An obsolete device (would have to take a look at 2.1.5
sources to
be able to tell you what it was. IIRC, it used to be swap in
Version7 days)
> What does it mean ?
[ML] That means that most probably all your device nodes are
gone,
and that you should
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV
in order to try to recreate them.
Beware, most probably this will not help very much because who
knows
what else did you delete -- was it perchance a rm -rf * in / ?
> How can i fix it?
[ML] Reinstall is really your only option. Followed by the
restore so that
you get back all the user files. You do make backups, don't
you?
> The system still run .. for the moment..(sob).
[ML] But will probably fail to reboot. It might manage to
mount /, but
the other partitions are most probably unreachable.
> Please Help!!
[ML] Don't run as root. And be very careful when you do.
