server abi 1 dose not match server 2

[neekbreeker]

hello i have tryd to fix this meself but have failed .so is bout time i ask those in the know .
i am afraid i do not know my distro
the kernel i am running at present is 2.6.18.8 tex5 =i685 .it used to be
2.6.26.8.tex3 =i586.mandriver .

kernel runs through with some errors .panics and throws me into shell

tools i have at use are grub.shell. floppy. internet i think .no cd rom so can not use rescue disk.

the kernels i think are part of problem .but error i am asking about is as follows

ee module abi major version 1 dose not match servers version 2
ee faild to load modual v41
modual requiment missmatch 0
xf drake
any idears ,thankyou

It looks like PCLinuxOS. From what you describe, seems you have installed an older kernel (possibly only partially). Do you remember what caused this?

if i closed it down at mains i dout i would have this problem.

It'll be hard to figure out what happened. Can the system still boot into a console at least?

Lets first look at this:

"The kernel i am running at present is 2.6.18.8 tex5 =i685 .it used to be
2.6.26.8.tex3 =i586.mandriver"

Appears you downgraded the kernel to an older version. Why? Was it intentional? How about we switch back to using 2.6.26.8.tex3 ?

If the files are still there, you can do this by editing /etc/grub/menu.lst

happy new year thanks again
that would be sooo great intentional no .i was trying to get sound from web and ended up in this mess.
at the moment i am trying with another hard drive a partion floppy .to see if i can get my cd rom to pick up linux disk .
but will def give your suggestion a go .though i think my menu 1st has not much in it.will let you know
