While booting my debian 1.31 box with kernel

Where can I find a translation of the

number 2 is???
/usr/include/asm/errno.h and /usr/include/linux/errno.h
#define ENOENT 2 /* No such file or directory */
I think that answers the question in the title but not the real question.
I would have a look at the source code of the driver being used, and look
for the textual part of the error message. That will give you more of an
idea what's failing.
Just as an example, if you insmod ppa (the zip-drive parallel port driver)
while there's no zip-drive plugged in, you get (by coincidence):
PPA: unable to initialise controller at 0x378, error 2
/lib/modules/2.0.29/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
The driver source code reveals that ppa_init returns:
The return value from this function is just a hint about where the
handshaking failed.
and the error code (here 2) increases by one after each out_p() call.
The kernel error code (here #define EBUSY 16 /* Device or resource busy */)
just muddies things.
Cheers,
