Dear all, I'm having trouble with my PowerBook 3400. Due to a (known -- don't bother with that) kernel bug, the kernel lost interrupt for my root partition on pmud (pmud is like APM for PBs) wakeup, I had to reset the machine, and at the next startup and manual repair by e2fsck, about two dozen files, most of them binary files, have been added to /lost+found. I cannot log in at all at runlevel 2, but fortunately I can boot into single mode, and I do have network access (I can ping IP addresses, they are not resolved). The "You don't exist. Go away." message appears when I try to issue shutdown commands, so I have to reset the computer every time I want turn it off. What I have is a backup of /etc (made with tar -cIf, I _hope_ this will have preserved the permissions!), but a mirrordir operation didn't change the situation for the better. I have no complete backup, as my 1.3 GB HDD is 90% full, and my complete backups are in Germany while I am in the U.S. What can I do in this situation? Needless to say, any help will be appreciated.
