System.map does not match kernel data

2001-05-16 Thread omicron
hello
when i do `ps` , i get the following error message on stderr...

{inet_release} {inet_release_R__ver_inet_release}
Warning: /boot/System.map-2.4.2 does not match kernel data.
{inet_release} {inet_release_R__ver_inet_release}
Warning: /boot/System.map does not match kernel data.
{inet_release} {inet_release_R__ver_inet_release}
Warning: /usr/src/linux/System.map does not match kernel data.

what does it mean ? I *did* compile (and recompile ) my kernel a
dozen times..is it because of that ?

Thanks in advance..

regards
omicron

Re: superblock corrupted

2001-04-20 Thread omicron
hi
this is very interesting...The same thing happened to me. I
upgraded to the new e2fsprogs package and the mount,and friends. Then when
the fsck checked 3 of my 4 ext2 filesystems because they reached maximal
mount count, everything was ok. The next boot and i had a kernel panic on
my hands. Is there something wrong with the new packages ?

regards
omicron

something that i'ven't installed or with the kernel options that i have
selected ?

hi, how do i make apt-zip look into a subdirectory ? It is asking
for a mounted partition with a noauto flag set . To requote the original
question , if i have debian packages already downloaded in a subdirectory
how do i safely install it without being in any danger of overwriting the
previous packages? How do i use apt-zip for that ?

dpkg help

2001-04-10 Thread omicron
hi
i've libc6 2.2.4-* and i want to upgrade from the old to the new.
I dont have a very fast net connection so i've to download it to some
other place and then trasfer it here. i also have most of the dependencies
and "recommended" packages of libc6. I've kept them in a directory
/misc/tmp. What tool should i use to install them ?
If i use dpkg, what should be the --refuse-things flag so that if
in case there is any error, a good package is not deleted ( i say this
because, when i tried to upgrade libdb3, it removed libdb.so.3 and failed
most of programs ). is this ok ?
dpkg -i --refuse-conflicts,dependencies,remove-essential,downgrade
-E -R /misc/tmp/

Thanks in advance

omicron

Re: Help! Accidentally started deleting /usr

2001-04-10 Thread omicron
hi
one trick is
touch -- -i
in all the key directories, beginning wtih /. then
rm -fr / makes it look as though it is rm -rf -i , which makes it
interactive again. or else
touch .NODEL /usr/
chattr +i /usr/.NODEL

hope this helps
