Hi,
I've got a rather remote Bering box (1.2 I believe) that's gone bad on me. The user tells me it starts the boot then gets to a point where it says:
installing root: gunzip: invalid gzip magic
As you'd expect, everything following fails because root hasn't been installed and the kernel eventually panics.
I'm guessing this has gone too far to have a complete computer illiterate fix over the phone... if I knew what to have him do. The location is pretty shy of outside computer consultants too, let alone one that might know what Linux is.
I'm thinking there's a problem with the Compact Flash it's booting from... something has corrupted the root.lrp file? Any chance it's been hacked?
If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate a cc to my address as I get the digest version and need to decide if this box is getting couriered to me this afternoon.
Thanks,
Brock (brock at nanson dot org)
