Booting dies with 'cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit" ' (Mandrake 9.2)
Hello,
While using DrakPerm in Mandrake 9.2, I messed up adding some rules, and ended up changing the ownership of /etc, /var and (maybe) /bin, so that they were all owned by a normal user instead of root.
Realizing what happened, I took out the rules I'd added, and saved. I ran "msec", hoping that it would return the permissions back to normal. Apparently not.
Now whenever I boot up, I receive this error:
INIT: version 2.85 booting
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit"
INIT: Entering runlevel: 5
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc"
I assume this is because the permissions are still hosed, since I don't recall editing any of the files it mentions. Is there any way I can fix this?
I tried booting the first disc of the 9.2 installer and typing "rescue", but it dies saying:
can't open /etc/resolv.conf for read
I assume this is also due to the screwed permissions.
Thanks a LOT,
Mark
