Yep, I remember seeing that and never thought anything of it.
Now, I can't seem to mount my filesystem from the rescue prompt. Either I have an advanced case of dementia/alzheimers (possible) or it is something else. Possibly because some of my partitions except / are LVM's?
A short refresher would certainly be appreciated. Of course I have lots of notes and stuff on how to do these things but they are all inaccessible right now. (On SuSE 10 that won't boot)

Bob, At the Loader (Grub) screen, press F2 to get options. Type "init 3", at the prompt. That will boot the computer to the tty1 screen safely. Type in your root name and password, then type "rcxdm start" at the prompt. That will take you into KDE once again. From there, correct the file that was mentioned and your booting problems should go away.
Thanks Lee, I will be keeping this on file as well as a method suggested by Carl. As you will see from a later post I managed to mount and "VIM" the file. Wow, was that fun for the old guy. I especially thank you for the fix. Without it I would be sitting here in "darkness" with a Windoze blue screen staring at me. I hope others paid attention to your post about the fix. Would save them a lot of trouble. I hope they fix it soon. Bob S.
