I was just pocking around on my sytem in the console looking at different things in pico (emacs for newbies LOL) and I opened vmlinuz in the /boot directory to see what it was.
Heres and example of what got me kinda worried:
Enter mode number or `scan': ^@Unknown mode ID. Try again.^@You passed an undef$^@Error: Scanning of VESA modes failed. Please report to <mj@ucw.cz>.
^@CGA/MDA/HGA^@EGA^@ VGA^@VESA^@Video adapter: ^@^@^@?^@^@U?ZZ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^$!^@^@ ?u^K^^1??^@^@^P^@^P^@??^@^P^@?^@^P^@^@??^@

and.....
^@bad gzip magic numbers^@out of memory^@crc error^@length error^@Input has inv$^@Multi part input
^@Input is encrypted
^@
Out of memory
^@Memory error
^@Malloc error
^@ran out of input data
there is all kinds of stuff like that in the file, probably to much to post here.
Im assuming there is some kind of problem, just kinda wondering if anyone can tell me what I'm looking at when I have this file open. Is it some kind of log file?
Strange part is that I thought everything was working fine, havent noticed any problems with performance...
thanks for the help
