I was playing with adonthell when my display froze up. It was totally unresponsive, and I didn't have a way to ssh in, so I had to manually turn the machine off and then back on. Now, trying to ssh gives
jason@inj ( jason ) 15:57$ ssh stout
zsh: illegal hardware instruction ssh stout
The same happens if I try to tell sshd to start.
Everything else that I've tried thus far (from galeon to sylpheed to
the other daemons like apache) works, except for fetchmail when I tell
it to use ssl. If I tell it to work unencrypted, it works just fine.
Otherwise, I get the same message as above.
The kernel is 2.4.19, compiled using make-kpkg. I'm pretty sure I
don't have anything exotic going on, either in the kernel (no patches
or anything) or the hardware (it's still the same as the vendor gave
it to me 3 years ago, a K6-2 450, 96 MB RAM Compaq). I'm 99% certain
it's the same kernel image now that I was using before the crash, but
I'm a little sloppy like that - I don't really remember.
I'm sure more information would help anyone who tries to help me, but
I'm not sure where to start. New kernel image? Different kernel
version? Is it a kernel problem at all? I tried removing and then
reinstalling ssh, but that hasn't done anything. A google/linux
search turned up an argument between Linus and Alan Cox on some
mailing list, but nothing else of note.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
