it sure *seems* that your file /etc/init.d/functions has gone missing. that file defines a critical function called "action()" which is used to (you guessed it) mount the /proc filesystem. if you look down the /etc/rc.d/sysinit, there is indeed a call to "action" to mount /proc. if that function has not been defined, you're in big trouble. so the question is -- where has your /etc/init.d/functions file gone? rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
