Broken /proc?
Last week I did an 'apt-get update' of a debain unstable and now I've
noticed that my /proc fs is broke.
It appears to be mounted correctly and all the entries show up if you
do a 'ls' but if you actually try to look at an entry its just blank.
Fex:
# cat /proc/interrupts
#
That's it no output no error.
I was running a 2.4.13 kernel at the time and everything was working.
Last night I upgraded to .17 and it still does the same thing.
System runs fine otherwise just anything that has to do with /proc
either blocks or throws an error.
I have another system running a hybrid testing/unstable and 2.4.16
and it works fine.
I've checked and all the versions of stuff listed in
Documentation/Changes and they meet or exceed whats required.
Yes.. /proc is enabled in the kernel. At least it shows to be.
Any ideas? I realize that this is more of a kernel thing than a
Debian thing but it seems very suspect that it appears to have broke
after an update.
