I usually wouldn't put urgent up there, but this is an [b]URGENT[/b] plea for help; my laptop has [b]several, incredibly important, project files[/b] on it in OpenOffice 2.0 format. Stupidly, I BFUed from 20051103, which worked wonderfully, to 20051116. It gave no sign of errors while BFUing; acr's results were fine, including checking the allresults file. But when I was rebooting, first I got a message that gdm2-login timed out, which I do get occasionally. So I thought, "oh, fine," and rebooted. This time, a far uglier message greeted me (several times, with timestamps in front of it).
svc.startd[10004]/lib/svc/method/boot-archive failed with exit status 2 After which it asked for my root password to get into maintenance mode, which I provided. One of the prompts had recommended that I run fsck, so I did, answering yes to every prompt, hoping that it would be smart (forgive the inherent ignorance in this). But after rebooting in normal mode, I still get that same prompt. Failsafe boots reasonably, but I can't do anything useful in it. Can I recover this quickly and easily? Or, more importantly, is there any hope of being able to transfer my files using a LiveCD and a USB drive to another computer? Thanks for any help you can provide.
