| 19 | AristotlePagaltzis | 6 | |
| 10 | StuartYeates | 7 | Many [BIOS]es will report this error if a keyboard is not found at boot time. |

| 11 | AristotlePagaltzis | 10 | |
| 19 | AristotlePagaltzis | 11 | The Linux lp# driver says this when your printer signals an error, but doesn't signal which error. Usually this means the printer is offline. (This message was copied from much earlier line printer daemons from Unixes of old.) |

| 19 | AristotlePagaltzis | 33 | This message appears for certain unix programs when an entry can't be found for you in <tt>/etc/passwd</tt> (or these days, via [PAM]). This might be because you've not logged in via login(1) (this can happen if <tt>/etc/inittab</tt> specifies a program that doesn't log you in, instead of getty(8)), if your machine can't retrieve the data from the network (if you are using [NIS] or [LDAP] or some other network user administration system) or if you've made a mistake editing <tt>/etc/passwd</tt> (or friends). |
