How do you know your problem is permissions?
What happens if you just exit the busybox shell? (E.g. type "exit" and press Enter.) There can be many reasons other than permissions for you ending up at the busybox initramfs shell...

What do you mean by "messed up"? What problems, exactly, are you having? Have you already updated the permissions on all files as per my suggestion or not? Are you getting any error messages? If so what?Originally Posted by macvr
As an aside: Are you running Ubuntu Hardy (8.04)? I might try to come up with a script to restore the permissions on standard files (rather than blanket changing all of them), if that turns out that it will help...

i have done this to reset the permissions
the above command was given in the irc...Code:while read -d : dir; do sudo chmod +x "$dir"/*; done <<< "$PATH"
seems to have corrected the 'permissions denied'/'child process' errors for some programs but still lot of programs seem to give permission errors...
was actually adviced to reinstall the package when i get error.... what if i selected ALL packages in synaptic and reinstalled them?
or if u have a better reset command?[i'm not able to find ur suggestions?]
