cannot execute "/etc/init.d/rc"

Hi list,
as I cannot read my battery status, my laptop went off unexpectingly.
After reboot, and a fsck, and reboot again, I get the following message:

INIT: cannot execute "/etc/init.d/rcS"
INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
INIT: cannot execute "/etc/init.d/rc"

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (none) tty1

(none) login: root

(none) login: root

[Ctrl+Alt+Del]

INIT: Switching to runlevel: 6

INIT: cannot execute "/etc/init.d/rc"
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):
(none)~touch /tmp/try.log
touch: cannot touch '/tmp/try.log': Read-only file system


I have in my /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda5	/	ext2	errors=remount-ro	0	1

after remounting the root partition, nothing changes:

(none)~mount -o remount /dev/hda5
(none)~touch /tmp/try.log
(none)~init 3

	Any idea?
	Thanks in advance,
