gpm problem
i recently updated my debian workstation. i am running potato; i haven't
changed from the kernel that originally came with the distribution but that
apart everything else is up-to-date.
yesterday morning, i had reason to reboot my machine and find that i can't
get back in. the machine boots up and then stops midway during the boot-up,
while attempting to start anacron.
i have attached the output from /var/log/syslog below; i would be grateful if
someone could point me to a possible way out of this morass.
if any other log output is needed, please let me know.
