boot the system with init=/bin/sh then run the different boot scripts in /etc/init.d, e.g. run /etc/init.d/boot.localfs start /etc/init.d/boot.udev start [...] hmmm, sorry, I didn't understand too much ;-) So I booted with the normal bootline from the menu list but additionally inserted "init=/bin/sh" right after "acpi=off". I had a shell prompt. I typed "/etc/init.d/boot.localfs start" had the messages as above (mounting... nothing was mounted...) typed in "/etc/init.d/boot.udev start" had a shell prompt again - at least it didn't freeze...
That means that your problem comes from one of the init scripts you didn't test ;-)
I didn't understand what you mean with the foobar thing... But now at least I have a shell prompt - if you can tell me what to do, I hope I can deliver the infos you need... b.t.w. I have no idea what "shm" is.
shm is a tmpfs (a filesystem living in RAM, not hard disk) that is mounted to /dev/shm. The echo-command Berthold mentioned just tries to create a little file in this filesystem. If this also doesn't freeze your system, try the other init scripts: cd /etc/init.d/boot.d/ for file in S* ; do echo "--- Starting $file... ---" ./$file start echo "done - press enter" read done Just wait some seconds after each script, then press enter to start the next one. (You could also type each script name manually, but the above script is easier ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz --
