So I would type:
$ col -b < your-typescript-file | less
and then the less commands:
-j 12 <RETURN>
/linux-image <RETURN>
and then n to see the next match for linux-image. That may give you
some idea of what failed. FAOD no space is typed between /linux-image
and the <RETURN> keystroke. col -b is not perfect so the file will
look a little messy in parts, with extra characters. -j is just to
give 12 lines of context before the matching string, to save scrolling.
Cheers,
David.
