string

Technical Notes
Sometimes this condition results from a programming error, such as when a program
attempts to execute data as instructions. This condition can also indicate device file
corruption on your system.
Illegal instruction "0xhex" was
encountered at PC 0xhex
Cause
The machine is trying to boot from a non-boot device, or from a boot device for a
different hardware architecture.
Action
If you are booting from the net, check README files to make sure you are using a
boot image for that architecture. If you are booting from disk, make sure the system
is looking at the right disk, which is usually SCSI target 3. Failing these solutions,
connect a CD drive to the system and boot from CD-ROM.
Illegal seek
Cause
Using a pipe ("|") on the command line doesn’t work here.
Action
Rather than using a pipe on the command line, redirect the output of the first
program into a file and run the second program on that file.
Technical Notes
A call to lseek(2) was issued to a pipe. This error condition can also be fixed by
altering the program to avoid using lseek(2).
The symbolic name for this error is ESPIPE, errno=29.
