I have booted into the rescue system and run reiserfsck on all the partitions: /, /boot, /opt, & /home. No errors are logged. I can mount each of the partitions under the rescue system and have created text files on each of the partitions so I don't think the problem is a corrupted file system.
Mmm. Need more info. What exactly is the first error? Are any script in /etc/init.d unreadable? Any partition is full?
In doing additional research on the problem I learned that /etc/fstab was trashed. I repaired that file and found that the root partition was indeed full. The culprit was a 5.7 gig archive in /tmp. I deleted that and the major problems have been fixed. Thanks for the interest, I never would have thought of a full partition since root is 8.3 gig and normally less than half full.
