init process failed to spawn


Hi,
My machine is dual booted with Fedora 14 and RHEL 6. (I have only installed Red Hat because I am studying for RHCE). Just now I tried to install the Banshee player on my Red Hat OS. I ran various scripts inside the directory to see what really happens and after I ran the 'Makefile.in' file my terminal froze. It displayed '/bin/ not found'
Then i restarted my computer and I got the following messages:

init: Failed to spawn readahead-collector main process: unable to execute: no such file or directory
init: Failed to spawn rcS main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
init: Failed to spawn readahead main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
init: Failed to spawn readahead-collector post-stop process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
init: Failed to spawn rcS post-stop process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
init: Failed to spawn kexec-disable main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
init: Failed to spawn readahead-disable-services main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory

I tried run level 1 and run level 3 but I get the same error messages. Can you guys help me find out what these messages mean and what I did wrong?

PS: My Fedora 14 installation is working fine.

You have catch-22. You need /bin to boot, but you ain't got it, or the perms are wrong or something.

If everything looks ok from your fedora system, try
chroot /path/to/RH

That should try to execute /bin/bash, which might be interesting. . .

The error message I was reacting to was this from post #1

Do you get that error. The chroot means /bin/bash and the few libs it is linked against exist. BTW, it might be /lib or /lib64 for the libs. If you have an error, you get better exposure if you start your own thread
