So I have had time to look into this problem some more and I have
concluded that it really is a hardware issue. It seems my drive is on its
last legs and this was just a symptom of that fact. Thanks to everyone
who tried to help out, though.

Hi Mike, McCarty,
Someone has told me before that we should install another package to
import images from Digital Camera. I remember that's the package
'gphoto2'. It will detect almost Digital Camera from different vendors.
But it's just command-line, then we should install gtkam for using :)
Let's try.

OK Thanks for that Murnia.
I guess that means my configuration might be incorrect in some way.
It looks like I have to either invest some time to fix the problem or
else find a windows machine. :-(

I reinstalled Debian using "amd64-expertgui" at the first prompt, using the
same DVD. The reinstall completed successfully, but it is unable to boot.
When I add to the "kernel" line in GRUB, I get:
ADDITION: RESULT
1. nothing: Kernel panic
2. noapic nolapic: Kernel panic
3. acpi=3Doff: SATA internal errors
4. acpi=3Doff noapic nolapic: SATA internal errors
"Kernel panic" looks like this:
Code: <pairs of hexadecimal digits>
Console shuts up ...
<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler
I could not find any hardware problem. The hard drive is a Seagate 7200.10
300 giga-byte SATA. The whole computer is new.
Searching the web showed that similar problems were tackled by
adding/removing kernel modules. Can this be solved by adding/removing kernel
modules?
ALSO: I want to try the 486 linux-image, but dpkg refuses to install it,
saying that that package is only for I386. How can I install the 486
linux-image on my AMD64 computer?

I'd say the problem may lie in /var/log.

Hi Debian users,
It seems that some uninstallers didn't remove their info
pages correctly. For example, I have the entries
* Emacs: (emacs-20/emacs). [ . . . ]
* Emacs: (emacs-21/emacs). [ . . . ]
both of which give error such as
Info file emacs-21/emacs does not exist
(Indeed they don't exist because I removed
emacs21-common-non-dfsg and so on.)
So, my question is how one can clean this up.
Thanks,
Ryo

Hey,
I'm runing Debian etch with apache2 on it. To make the server host

I think you must define at least a directive for a virtual host "inside"
your document root.
Actually no pages can be served from your document root, there's not a web
site definition but a cgi script alias, and you only get that warning
instead of an error.

Say you are booted into Linux1, and linux 2 is mounted at /linux2, you
need to do this (assuming they are both recent distrobutions):
mount -t proc proc /linux2/proc
chroot /linux2
then inside the chroot, whatever you do should not disturb what's
cooking in Linux-1
Remember to unmount proc from Linux-2 after leaving the chroot.

I have also thought heavily about doing this sort of thing, for developing =

testing and such. My understanding is that there would be very close to=20
having two differant GNU/Linux operating systems running at once, but using=

only one kernel. Once inside the chroot, BASH would be using tools=20
from /linux2/usr/bin, is that correct?
My understanding of chroot is extremely limited, right now. I have searched=

around, but can anyone point me to anything specific that they know to be a=
=20
good tutorial/explanation or how chroot works and what its capabilities are?
