Help !!!Segmentation Faults when mounting /proc

Jun 9, 2005 7:18AM PDT

I will try this again. Upon boot up of my Red Hat 9.0 istallation I get "Segmentation Faults" when the /proc fs is getting mounted. I have booted off the 1st RH9.0 CD in rescue mode and chrooted /mnt/sysimage and tried to manually mount /proc with the command "mount -n proc /proc -t /proc" with the result of "Segmentation Fault". Nothing has changed no kernel rebuilds or updates or installation of new software. I have googled many keywords and have not come up with a solution or cause. Can anyone help.
TIA
Bryan

Usually a hardware or bum CD causes this.

In either case you get to fix it.

(NT) (NT) Is there a way to run fsck on the /proc?

Hmm, sounds like we should try that on kmem too?

Thanks Bob for the info but is there a way to recover?

after replacing hardware. I use Backupedge for backups but I noticed that it does not back up the /proc fs.I just do not think I exactly grasp the concept of the /proc fs.

Thanks again

/proc is ... not a real set of files.

I supplied a link but you really need to dive in and learn here. I don't teach linux. It's all out there, but the issue is... well known and the cause (or curse?)

-> You ignored the forum note so you may not get the best of help.
