I'll post the dmesg Not every program that's needed to build a new kernel is located in /sbin. Some are in /usr/bin (gcc, make). Just dmesg is located in /sbin. Sometimes unprivileged users don't include /sbin and /usr/sbin in their PATH. Then they have to explicitly call these commands with their directory prefixed.

OK, timeouts on the cdrom drive are probably not the problem. It doesn't mean that you will find the problem in `dmesg` or /var/log/messages. Just maybe. > I just wonder how the permissions on this machine could have gotten dorked? Not easy to guess. Have they really been changed? Maybe somebody has sniffed the root password on your network? Are you working on the console or do you connect by some encrypted means?
