I've built a kernel with the sources from 2.0.6, but I'm having problems
when I try to run it. I get the error:
VFS: Cannot open root device 03:02
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:02
This is what I have in my .config file:

Hi,
Is there a way to access the Virtual Console's scrollback buffer, for example
to save the screen to a text file? Perhaps something in /proc?
Thanks.
Dear Debian Users,
I've recently installed debian linux on my portable and have run
into a problem with dpkg.
First, some background. I don't have access to an up and running
linux machine, except for one with minimal disk space. I used
that to make floppies for a base installation. Then I p

The other day I removed the package dpkg-ftpd (the perl script) as
dselect reported it as an 'Obselete/Local package'; this seemed sensible
at the time, however I now can't utilise ftp as an install method. As I

I get the following error messages every time perl starts up
on my debian-linux machines (perl and return with do it!)
This is the current perl-5.003 release. Any idea how I can
rid my system of this problem? (The perl scripts all run
fine, I am not that familiar with perl).

machine's desired (new) hostname.

I wouldn't bring this to the list, except that I believe that whatever

edit /etc/hostname so that it contains the hostname that you want.
put hostname `cat /etc/hostname` in one of your rc.* scripts if it
isn't there already.

I would avoid upgrade of few packages when I upgrade my system from a

Packages I should not upgrade are "base", "netscape" and few others. "base"

reset them (and "base" is not required to upgrade

I had this same problem. I ended up going back to the 1.99.7 kernel, which
does not have this problem. I haven't yet tested the newer kernels.

If I issue the hostname command: hostname newname
the node name is set to newname - HOWEVER after a reboot the original
name returns.
Where is this info written ?
Thank you to all who responded with congratulations, etc.
There were so many responses that its just easier to send
thanks to the list.
P.S.: My wife and son are both doing very well, although we
feel like we haven't slept since the 80's.

Who's in charge of ucbmpeg and ucbmpeg_play ? These packages are
still a.out.
I've tried to rebuild them, but there's little doc (read no doc), and
it needs Tcl and Tk. Which versions ? I had problems with both Tcl
7.4 Tk 4.0 and Tcl 7.5 Tk 4.1. I had to link with Tcl 7.4 and 7.5
plus Tk 4.1.
