Hello,

the installation of coda client on a linux server results in:
"becoming a zombie...", i.e. venus

I did:
venus-setup coda1.wettzell.ifag.de 1000000
./venus.init start

    /usr/coda/etc/console says:

What can be wrong?

I am using the newest coda setup and this client is installed on Kernel 
2.4.21 including coda kernel packages linux-coda-6.4

lsmod gives:
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
coda                   37632   2


I terminated venus by
# /etc/init.d/venus stop
Shutting down venus: done.

But the start is not possible any more:
# /etc/init.d/venus start
Starting venus: done.

But no
/coda filesystem is there
/usr/coda/etc/console ssays nothing more;

# more venus.log
