Description Hagen Möbius 2004-04-08 10:25:57 UTC

At boot time, after the "INIT: version 2.84 booting", booting goes well until it tries to load modules:

* Using /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 as config:
*   Loading module #...
*   Failed to load #                                     [!!]

This is the first error I get, which seems pretty basic so I guess it somehow is my fault, but I cannot begin to guess how ... because until here I only hit <return> one time to accept the standard kernel without any option.

The booting continues a bit until:

* Caching service dependencies...
*  The 'parallel' modifier can only take 'yes' or 'no' as argument!
*  Please fix this in the 'net' service.

There follows an error about:
/sbin/depscan.sh: line 52: Done 956  ....

And some more errors which are generated by the shell ending in:
* Failed to cache service dependencies.                   [!!]

And after that it stops. I can't do anything but to reboot the computer via hardware reset. It seems to be independant from the chosen kernel parameters but of. course I coulnd't test every combination. It 'worked' for every one I tried.

Any suggestions??

Currently I'm loading the universal iso (not minimal that is) and I'll try it with that one too.

Thx for any input :)

Hagen.

I didn't remember I had this bug posted.

Well it turned out to be a hardware error. The fpu was fused and somehow it crashed all other systems as well. Sadly the no387 option doesn't work for livecd kernels.
