The trouble is > the command is run as root. Did you strip the kernel image? Do the devices /dev/mem and /dev/kmem exist? They should be something like: crw-r----- 1 root kmem - 2, 0 Mar 28 23:40 /dev/mem crw-r----- 1 root kmem - 2, 1 Mar 28 23:40 /dev/kmem When something stops working like this, you have to ask yourself what you did between now and when it last worked. This is why a lot of people with large scale admin setups keep logs of things they do as root (or whatever acct they use for doing system administration) so that if something breaks, they can see what they've done recently.
