9.10 upgrade mountall terminated

[-Zeus-]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to 9.10, and have reason to believe it was an uncomplete upgrade. Upon boot, I first for an error with sreadahead, which I fixed by changing /etc/conf/sreadahead.conf to Start on filesystem.

Now, I get an error:



mountall start/spawned, process 2704
mountall:/proc: unable to mount: Device or resource busy
mountall:/proc/self/mountinfo: No such file or directory
mountall: root filesystem isn't mounted
init: mountall main process (2704) terminated with status 1
General error mounting filesystems.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this and re-try
root@laptop:~#

However, both / and /home are mounted, as is /proc. I ran a fsck.ext3 -f on / and /home, both of which came out fine. I also tried dpkg --configure -a, which did nothing.

starting X dies saying that it could not touch /tmp/.X0-lock. perhaps that is the issue?

Thanks

See last post for fix.

Thanks, but I solved mine by a different method.

I'll post it for other people:


mount -n -o remount,rw /
Change each occurance of 2.6.26-14 to (for me) 2.6.31-15 in menu.lst
Fsck.ext3 / and /home
Change start on starting mountall to start on filesystem in /etc/init/sreadahead.conf
Apt-get clean
Dpkg --configure -a
