k3bsetup run, now system won't boot
I was burning a CD today, and I had some trouble, so as a troubleshooting step I ran k3bsetup. This has created more trouble for me. When I ran it, I unchecked the modify fstab box so that it wouldn't mess up supermount (I am running Mandrake 9.1), but I allowed it to make permissions changes to executables and everything else it does. Now, my system outputs this and hangs (it should be noted that bootsplash is turned off):
LILO 22.4.1 Loading 2420-1custom............... BIOS data check successful Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel INIT: version 2.84 booting mount: only root can do that grep: /proc/cmdline: No such file or directory Setting default font (lat0-16): [ OK ] Booting, please wait... Welcome to Mandrake Linux 9.1 Press 'I' to enter interactive startup Running DevFs daemon [ OK ] mount: only root can do that << system hangs>> It appears to me that only root is being allowed to mount filesystems. Can anyone help me change that back? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
Post up your fstab
/etc/fstab if you can 't access it, try using a knoppix CD or something of the sort (like a boot floppy, bootdisk.com I beleive) Also... post up what arguments lilo passes to your kernel. |
I discovered that /bin/mount had UID 501 (me) as its group and owner, as opposed to root. After changing that the system booted fine. Thanks anyway!
