cannot touch '/var/lock/subsys/hotplug': No such file or directory
Is the error I'm getting when I try to boot up slackware now. Basically what I did was reorganize some of my partitions and based on suggestions I made a seperate partition for /var (since it has my updates in there and such.. so I don't have to redownload if I reinstall). Anyway.. now for some reason I can't access this file during bootup. Now I know the file is there as I've checked.. but why is the file not accessible at boot type.. I am guessing it has something to do with when the /var folder (as it's a seperate partition now) is available in the boot routine.. but yet I'm almost certain that the mounting should be done before those messages come up.. so what's the deal?
Anyone have any ideas? I think permissions are just fine.. and it shouldn't matter as boot routine has root anyway right?
Thanks for any help..
