I am sorry I did not mention in my previous email that Ioannis Tambouras
send me a suggestion about my problem. He suggested using the kdstat
program to see if I could find anything useful Unfortunately, I could not
get far with his suggestion. The kdstat program whn run produces the
following output
Version 2.0.0, pid=360, delay=60, nokeep, nodebug
no jobs waiting
If I try kdstat debug
this comes up
Version 2.0.0, pid=360, delay=60, nokeep, debug
no jobs waiting
There is no manpage or info page ( not in my system anyway ) about this
program. So I didn't know what to do with it. Since my previous email I
realised that the same phenomenon happens in another computer on which I
have installed Debian . This has a newer version of the kernel ( 2.0.27) .
So the old version of the kernel must not be the cause of the problem . As
this problem does not
affect in any way my work I do not worry about it much. However since I am
new to Debian I do not know whether this is bug of a feature of some kind
for kerneld
and so I do not think it would be right to file a bug report
( I don't think I asked anybody else to do this for me as Ioannis implied
). Anyway I am sorry to bother the list in any way.
Any help or suggestion about this or about the use of kernel-image as I
explained in my previous mail is more that
welcome and will be appreciated !!!
Thank you very much
George
PS Anyway since the e-mail that Ioannis sent to me was personal I think
that my slip in not acknowledging his help in my previous email could have
been dealt with in private without further burdening the already heavily
used list. Thanks again.
