"BLOGD: no message logging because /var file system is not accessible" Don't know if that could be the problem.
/var is out of space or otherwise fsck'ed
Help please! I've spent the last three days trying to fix this. 10.3 is my "work" system. I need it back. The install of 11.0 should have been easy. It wasn't. Can't imagine what could have happened.
I would boot from a live disk and fsck the drive partition that contains 10.3's /var
THEN remove some of the older log files and clean /var/tmp if you have one.
Another possibility is that if you are trying to share /var between 11.1 and 10.3 that the owner and group id's don't match across the 2 systems. You need to check /etc/passwd and /etc/group on each system to find out. A better idea would be not to share any partitions other than (perhaps) /home; even if you do share /home. make sure that you have separate user accounts between 10.3 and 11 to avoid problems with config files. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== The trouble with a kitten is that When it grows up, it's always a cat -- Ogden Nash.
