hopefully this isn't your problem, but this happened to me after an idiot ran
a trojan on my system and ended up gibbling a great number of binaries. i
believe it was some sort of rootkit designed for redhat and had pretty much
destroyed my system.
the reason /proc wouldn't mount in this case, was that /bin/mount was broken.
maybe look into seeing if the binary is corrupted, and if so, try copying a
working one onto the system?
