Hello!

Do you have problems with your system,
not only with ps command?
Looks like problems with modules (drivers)
and kernel.
You compiled new kernel, or just in boot
loader you have few options and you choosed
one of them?

In /proc you have file of ps data that you
can cat it and see the ps info.

Does something changed in the computer?
mother board maybe?

Hi,

It sounds like your 'ps' command has tripped across a bigger problem. Your /proc virtual filesystem may be hosed or you might be missing some driver files in /dev. Either way it looks like your system isn't going to be happy.

hi

this sounds to me a serious problems. did u recompile your kernel and forget to compile the modules and install them?

is your hard drive fine or is it having any errors?

any problems with your /etc/modules.conf?

hmm.. these are the things i would check.

Thanks very much.

A good starting point for read any kind of linux documentation is www.tldp.org. Here you can find
the Linux-HOWTO, official documents about all the basic aspects and more.

--Looks like a problem with insmod of aztcd.
Also modprobe looks for sound card module,but
it's a minor problem.May be you don't have a
soundcard but it's enabled in kernel.This one
is also a pointer:
Jun 20 17:25:49 hp2z02 kernel: aztcd: no AZTECH CD-ROM drive found

1)I think this is the first place to start :
Jun 20 17:25:49 hp2z02 kernel: aztcd: If you have problems, read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/cdrom/aztcd
2)Check your devices installed,use lspci (for PCI cards in slots,like soundcard,LAN card etc)
3)use lsmod to see what modules are up,check /etc/modules.conf to see what specific stuff is defined for modules.
4)For CD-ROM:if its IDE/ATA CDROM,can use
/proc/ide/ide,
5)And these are steps if you're sure that your
aztec cdrom is there and should work:
a)read Kernel-HOWTO:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel- HOWTO/index.html
b)compile new kernel,with all needed modules.
c)check Bugzilla for known problems with your
specific hardware:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/index.cgi
