hi , i'll get down to the matter straight.
i have this old p-120. the problem started when a loose lan card came off. i open the machine, after a hard shutdown, fixed the card, increased ram from 16M to 32M. now the boot up gave "grep /proc/cmdline: no such file or directory.." /etc/rc.d/rc : /var/run/runlevel.dir (read-only filesystem) init : ID 1 , respawning too fast, disabled for 5 minutes... and the same message for runlevels 2,3,4,5,6 i thought maybe the boot image got corrupted (and /proc filesystem wasnt being mounted properly...) next, i booted from a boot floppy... still got same error. then i did a "linux single".. came to a prompt and just to note, it gave "Mounting /proc filesystem: [OK]" so atleast that was(seemingly) not the problem ... i do a "init 3" from there... and what i get is the same message repeated... /etc/rc.d/rc : /var/run/runlevel.dir (read-only filesystem) init : Id 1, respawning too fast, disabled for 5 minutes... and the same message for runlevels 2,3,4,5,6 one word... ""help"" ! tia, anyways affly robins _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
