Colin,
You are being very insensitive to the group of us that have
NO long term memory and NEED to see all 18 pages and 46 replies :)
Kidding!

Hi all -
All that I can say is *arg*.
I was working on my machine last night, and it hard crashed. Upon restart,
it seems that /var/state/init.d/* is invalid (shows processess that are
started (but not really), etc) and therefore I cannot boot and my rootfs
stays ro (annoying). I can get into my system via single user, but that is
worthless thanks to my ro root fs. I tried copying /var/state/init.d from
the livecd into my own /var/state/init.d, but no joy there. Any ideas?
Cheers,
//zhen

My guess: this is probably caused by an upgrade then downgrade of baselayout from 1.5.x to 1.6.x and back. If you get into the system in single user and make sure that your /etc/is all on 1 version or the other of baselayout (prferably 1.5.x) you should be OK.
That is JUST A GUESS, good luck!

That shouldn't be too much of a problem, but what do I do if I see
different versions of baselayout? Since my root fs is ro, how could I fix
that? Chroot from a livecd?
Cheers,

come on people, was it really important to quote the whole of the
previous messages? :)
there are still people who pay for their bandwidth, (even worse there
are some people who are on dial-ups).
