I recently upgraded my Sid/unstable test system. After the upgrade the file system will not mount properly. It mounts read only. It also boots up to runlevel 2 after giving the error message that it can not run /etc/rc , /etc/rcS. Apparently the kernel can not access anything in /etc/init.d/. I tried to get the file system to remount rw but that did not work. I am uncertain of the correct syntax for the command even after reading the entire "man mount" output. No commands work that require any disk write function. The system is a multiboot machine so I can mount the testbed filesystem on a production system and edit files. When I upgraded Sid I noticed the lilo was upgraded. In the past I was always offered the option to run lilo from the debconf menu. This has changed and we are asked several questions regarding the disk format and whether or not we want lilo to regenerate "automatically". I chose to only run lilo with the -F option. I distrust auto anything... Now lilo will not run at all. Any advice will be appreciated as I do not want to destroy a 13Gb file system. Thanks! --------- John Foster
