i had recently installed "magicdev" via apt-get, so the malformed magic line thing sounded promising, but googling for more info on this has not yielded any info.On Wed, 28 Apr 2004, [iso-8859-1] Thomas Adam wrote:--- David Piniella <dpiniell@newssun.med.miami.edu> wrote:/etc/init.d/rcS: /etc/rcS.D/S70xfree86-common: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission Denied"This might be the result of a malformed magic line.if you can boot with standalone cdrom or floppy boot: linux root=/dev/hda1 1 boot: linux init=/bin/bash ... than try: sh /etc/rcS.D/S70xfree86-common if it works, than you probably mixed and matched unix vs dos cr/lf characters - you ned to strip \r from that file
when passing linux root=/dev/hda1 to the boot: prompt from a CD (gnoppix), this gave me the same /bin/sh permission denied errors and a bunch of "kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k net-pf-1, errno = 13 errors."
when i pass "linux init=/bin/bash" to the boot prompt it gave me a kernel panic which complained about no valid root partition and locked the machine. Thinking that I just needed to append the root= line, I passed "linux init=/bin/bash root=/dev/hda1" to the boot prompt. this gave me a # prompt, but running /etc/init.d/rcS gives me a bunch of "can't load modules" error (because it's running the gnoppix kernel, i'm guessing) as well as the same old the permission denied errors. I am getting these "permission denied" errors on EVERYTHING that rcS calls -- not just that /etc/rcS.D/S70xfree86-common file above; i'm getting at least two pages of similar error output.
how/where can I find more info bad magic errors? which file do i need to strip \r from? -d.
