i don't know if this is the right place to post my prob but i'll simply give it a try and hope you can help me.

k. i have an ibook 12". i installed Macosx and gentoo with yaboot.

the boot-manager worked pretty well i could boot osx and gentoo.

the i wanted to install X on gentoo. when the compiler/emerge finished i rebooted. now the gentoo partition is no more able to boot. When i start up 'Linux S' (the single-user mode) it says:


* Caching service dependencies...
* Could not create needed directory '/mnt/.init.d/softscripts'!
* Could not create needed directory '/mnt/.init.d/snapshot'!
* Could not create needed directory '/mnt/.init.d/options'!
* Could not create needed directory '/mnt/.init.d/started'!
mktemp: cannot make temp file /mnt/.init.d/depcache.XT9Nuin: Read-only file system
* Failed to create temporary cache!
/mnt/.init.d/depcache: /mnt/.init.d/depcache: No such file or directory
gawk: /lib/rcscripts/awk/gendepends.awk:441: fatal: can't redirect to `/mnt/.init.d/deptree' (Read-only file system)
* Error running '/sbin/depscan.sh'!
* Please correct any problems above.


my fstab contains the following:

Code:

/dev/hda11   /         ext3    noatime   0 1
proc      /proc      proc   defaults   0 0
tmpfs      /dev/shm   tmpfs   defaults   0 0
tmpfs      /mnt/.init.d   tmpfs   rw      0 0


any ideas would be nice. Cause i'm really at the end with this. why is it that linux is not built to be rebooted ...

Yeah, I had that problem for a while. I think it was due to the fact that I had a slightly corrupted filesystem as I can't unmount my harddrives properly when shutting off my computer. In my case it was solved by doing a fsck on the file system concerned.

OK, here is a hint. It seems that your /mnt/.init.d/ is not writable. However, your fstab says it should be. Now, what I am wondering is in what order these things are done. Does the mounting go before or after the depscans are done. Need to check that out.....
Or I can just ask you. In the boot sequence. When this error occurs, have the local filesystems been mounted?

i checked that. and yes they were mounted. the files he wants are just not there. i think the fs was corrrupted. i'm going for a reinstall of evrything because i need the system to run and i know it was running until the crash.
thank you
