Your password contains "%02" which is being interpreted as 0x02, i.e. as the character whose internal value is 2, i.e. as CTL-B. An ASCII chart will give you the decimal and hexadecimal equivalents of the special characters about which you asked. HTH, David

Re: [gentoo-user] Error booting new kernel

2008-11-03 Thread David Relson
root=/dev/sda7, i.e. "s" rather than "h", in lilo? My understanding is that disk driver changes in the kernel have resulted in the replacement of IDE subsystem drivers with a "universal" (SCSI based) subsystem. A side effect of this is device name changes, notably /dev/hdX to /dev/sdX. I'm not sure that this is 100% accurate because I don't track kernel changes as closely as some folks. HTH, David
