init: Unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rcS.... ummmm
Locked my box last night, went to unlock it and got this lovely message. Any help would be appreciated.

9.04 Jaunty, btw.

init: Unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rcS: Not a directory
init: rcS main process (709) terminated with status 255
init: Unable to execute "bin/sh" for rc-default : Not a directory
init: re-default main process (710) terminated with status 255


so yeah. something got messed up real bad. the last thing i did before locking the system was installing iprint.

This is a pretty fresh install (about two weeks)... I'm clueless....

Does anybody have a solution to this? I just got this error last night. I was trying to watch a dvd and got an error saying it could not mount the drive. So I thought a re-boot would help.
When it started up again I got the error messages above.

Running Hardy 8.04 LTS over a year now and this is the first time I have been unable to get my laptop up and running.

Please help!

Does ANYBODY have an answer to this problem? or should I just bite the bullit and do a re-install?
Seriously, I want my Ubuntu back and I'm greatful for Knoppix, but tired of working around the old browsers and "stuff"

This is a desperate cry for help!!!
