I tried connecting again latter. Nothing. The machine was down. Why
would my father have turned off the machine? Or was it the hacker who
decided to rm -rf /?
The moment I got home, I saw on the screen a seemingly normal boot
scroll. It was stopped after the line "VFS: mounted root fs read-only"
with "Unable to open initial console". Same thing happens under 2.0.35
and 2.0.36. I would try a rescue disk but my floppy drive does not
seem to be working.
My questions are:
1) What does that message mean?
2) How can I fix it?
3) How did the daemon wackiness evolve into this? Did I get hacked? It
seems as if the hacker was able to screw up the hardware somehow!!
Thanks A LOT if you can help!!! This machine is my mail server for my
whole family and my hundreds of messages a day from linux-kernel must
all be bouncing, as well as all my mail from anyone else who needs to
reach me.
