I have no idea how, but I have somehow broken my MDK install on my laptop. First, upon booting, a couple times in a row, hardware detect would find my "NEW" (not really) scd0 device and tell me that my DVD-Rom was no longer there. The device is a CD-RW/DVD-Rom, and has been there the whole time. Next, there were some problems with samba drives not mounting, which turned out to be due to a "missing" NIC. The DrakConnect wizard would find and identify the card, but I could not configure it. I was also getting errors at boot about / having under 200mb of avail space. I then attempted to configure lilo to empty /tmp (which was 1.7 GIG) on boot. It would not allow me to write the new lilo to the MBR. I then proceeded to manually empty /tmp. I think this caused at least some problems. Somehow in this lilo.conf became an empty file. ># cat /etc/lilo.conf ># And now, when booting, inittab is not found. It asks me to enter a run level, and I type 5 and press <ENTER>. Then I am told that there are no more processes for this run level. And the machine just sits there. Anyone have any ideas how I can at least figure out what happened, even if it's not really fixable?
