Hello hackers,
Last night I discovered a simple way to crash my system (2.1.5-release).
It is really nothing that you would do every day, but still.
After rebuilding my kernel, and doing a `make install' on it, I wanted to
make a little change to my autoexec.bat, before rebooting so:
LikeEver# make install
*chew chew, installed kernel*
LikeEver# mount /msdos
*silence*... Uh, Oh...
*twitch, grasp, cold reboot*
This is obviously stupidity on my part, for not rebooting immediately
after installing the kernel, but still.
Altough I am speculating here, I think this has to do with the fact that
I do not have msdosfs compiled in with the kernel. After installing a
different kernel, I asked the system to modload msdosfs, with the above
result.
Please CC me, as I'm not on the list.
Groetjes,
Kees Jan
