Kropotkin Meta Information

Q. Kropotkin's dmesg gives only the following ( as of 05:00 GMT 25 march 2002): Unable to load interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ( what does this mean? - kellan )

A. This generally happens when a machine gets totally hammered for some reason, something running out of control eating up all memory and swap so the kernel cannot load any of the necessary things to function. I believe this is an old message that was a result of kropotkin instability, which is resolved now. The dmesg can always be found in /var/log/dmesg, which I post here

( i dont have an account so i don't know for sure, but sounds like dmesg is looking for the ld-linux.so.2 library and can't find it. do ldd BACKTICKwhich dmesgBACKTICK to find out for sure (this lists libraries that it looks for). it's probable that it used to exist but was deleted... if so, you could try symlinking to a newer version that is present. eg: ln -s ld-linux.so.newversion ld-linux.so.2 and then attempting dmesg again. might work, might not. also, try just tail -f /var/log/messages or tail -n /var/log/messages .. which might be what you want, without dmesg - walter )
