It is certainly a great learning experience. This is however a new one
on me. The system is booting the kernel OK. The scripts in rcS, rcD,
etc., and all if the stuff in init.d will not run. The file system is
being mounted read only and runlevel2 is now the default. I looked at
the /boot directory and I see that all of the boot sequence files have
been rewritten by some installation script when I updated Sid. I was not
offered a chance to run lilo and I "think" that may cure the situation.
Any Ideas??
John
