Subject: /proc will not mount (unknown error 26240)
Date: Sun, 28 Feb 1993 19:48:35 GMT

I wiped out my fstab a while back, but thought I recreated it properly.
Here it is:

/dev/hda2 / extfs defaults
/dev/hda3 /mnt minix defaults
/dev/hda1 /dos msdos defaults
/dev/hda4 none swap sw
none /proc proc

Now when I boot, I get the good old unknown error 26240. Trying to mount it
by hand doesn't work either:

# mount -t proc /proc /proc
mount: Unknown error 26240

Needles to say, my ps isn't working:

# ps aux
/proc must be mounted
ps.c:read_globals:uptime: No such file or directory

I'm using SLS 0.98.5, I think, it says "SLS 1.0". I haven't upgraded in
three or four weeks.

Any idea what is causing this? I really need my "ps" back.

Thanks,

Scott
