Hello all, Some bad things just happened to me. I was innocently trying to update a few packages to unstable. Unfortunately doing so broke some things. And then I kept trying to upgrade more and more things hoping it would eventually all work until I ended up upgrading the entire thing to Woody including the kernel. Ok, now when I boot I get the following error that seems to repeat forever without stopping:
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/unix.o: insmod net-pf-1 failed /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/unix.o: cannot create /var/log/ksymoops/20001020xxx.ksyms Read-only file \ system The "xxx" keep increasing. As I said, this just keeps going and I can't make it stop to continue to the boot process. I was using the default kernel that came with 2.2 so I wasn't too worried about upgrading to the latest kernel. But something has gone wrong. OK, my original boot disk has died on me though my Debian 2.2 CDs are working, but I really don't want to reinstall. I do have this generic linux rescure CD that is able to boot and with it I am able to mount the partitions that Debian uses, so I can modify things if I only knew what. What I need to know is what the heck is going on and is there something I can change somewhere to get my system to some usable state? Please someone help, David Bellows
