yeah... The rc.d files do have #!/bin/sh, and in my /bin/ there is a symlink from sh to bash (ie: /bin/sh > bash) the rc.d files were chmod'd 755, and I did change them to 775 (but I dont think this should make a difference, it didnt fix it atleast!) Ill have to check later to see if /bin/sh and /bin/bash are 755 but I expect they are... I think my floppies have failed again, so I have to make new ones before I can get into it again...
Just for giggles, let me see If I understand what is going on... The kernel seems to boot fine (both the kernels on floppy and the kernel on the hard disk. If I boot from floppy, and pass mount root=/dev/hda1 to lilo, I get the exact same results as if I just let it boot from the hard disk. So... I assume this means that the kernel is ok, but for some reason (yet to be determined...) After the kernel boots It runs init (sys v style init) Init executes files in your /etc/rc.d/ directory. So.. Ive looked at init, inittab, /etc/rc.d/rc.* and as far as I can tell, everything is groovy (rc scripts have #!/bin/sh, /bin/sh exists, everytihng is executable. So... assuming everything Ive typed is correct, why doesnt it boot?
