They really shouldn't be empty. If binfmt-support is hanging indefinitely, something is wrong. Is this a Debian kernel? Or your own? Is the binfmt_misc module loaded? What do you see in dmesg? Is /proc mounted? Is /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc mounted? What is in /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status? There's also the possibility that you've got corruption of some sort or another on this machine. What does ls -l /var/lib/binfmts/; look like? Checking the output of debsums -s; or similar will help to see if there's something specific which has been corrupted. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Once, our bodies were bells: Simply moving in the wind We tolled our names. -- Phillis Levin "Poetry in Motion" p55 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
