 I'd say the problem was this. You asked a very
 specific question and 
 noone knew the answer. Whereas the other dude asked
 something while not 
 exactly general was much more general than your
 question and people 
 responded.

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm just desperate; what
good is an OS that won't boot? :(

[gentoo-user] what's up with kernelnewbies?

2005-12-05 Thread maxim wexler 
Hello everybody,

I posted about my kernel panic problem to
kernelnewbies(they seem a competent crew), w/ subject
line: kernel panic fix sought.

My post was ignored. Three days later somebody posted
to the list under the subject line: KERNEL PANIC FIX
SOUGHT. He(Kumar is a male name isn't it?)started
getting replies right away.

Kumar must have seen my mail. What are the chances
he'd choose exactly the same words out of the millions
out there within three days of my posting? And how is
it that someone can be so lame and un-imaginative that
they can't even think of four _different_ words to
express their difficulty(out of the millions out
there)and nobody calls him on it?

Which leads me to suspect I've neglected some sort of
protocol or other. Or, being a member of that list is
not enough.

Any thoughts?

I guess this was just a one off thing. Don't read too much into it.
The folks at KN are pretty helpful.

Cheers,
