Guess what? I stupidly added 3 lines to etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. It looked safe,
you just open the file with gnupad, add the lines, save. Safe until the next
time you reboot and find out that you can't use RedHat 6.2 anymore. During
the launch I now have a message saying, "INIT cannot execute
etc/rc.d/sysinit". I tried several rescue solutions and so far the only one
that gives me some result is to boot by typing linux emergency. That gives
me the chance to log as root before INIT (and therefore rc.sysinit) is
launched. From there I can access the file, edit it with VI but
unfortunately not save it. The file is read only. I can copy the file on a
floppy disk and open the copy with Windows notepad but it's useless because
I can't erase the original on the hard drive. It looks like while in
emergency mode all the files are read only.
That's where I need some help:
- How can I remove the 3 lines I added to rc.sysinit and save the file?
- Is rc.sysinit corrupted? And if so could I use root/rc.sysinit~ as a
backup?
- Is there an alternate solution?
Guys I am stuck so I really need your help.
Thanks in advance.
