Hi Matthew, Thanks a lot for your info. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything wrong in these files. I guess maybe the issue is related to dev link "/dev/usb/mass-storage0" which is not found somehow when searching in device information library in some cases. It is hard to debug the issue since

Hi all, FYI there are two Python IPC extension modules available that you might find useful. They're both less fancy than the multiprocessing module because they expose lower level primitives. There's a module for POSIX IPC: http://semanchuk.com/philip/posix_ipc/ And another for SysV IPC: http

Hi Scott, a way you can monitor SSH brute force attacks on valid user accounts is to do something like this: Step 1: become root / super user $ su - root Step 2: edit the /etc/default/login file with your favorite editor and make sure that SYSLOG=YES is uncommented. # vi /etc/default/

A little more: Out of curiosity, I tried setting "dobiosdev=0" as follows: Edit the grub line for the kernel to add -kdsv (to the failsafe line). In kmdb, "dobiosdev/W0". With that, it gets to single-user mode. So I think this does point at the BIOS-call stuff being broken. I see (from google) th

I spent a little while rebooting with kmdb and setting breakpoints, and have narrowed down the failure to this call stack: main -> startup -> startup_bios_disk -> drive_present The call to drive_present never returns. (I guess it's "off in the weeds".) The drive_present code calls the BIOS, so I
