Description Sumanth Peddamatham 2003-02-05 16:20:47 UTC

I updated my machine to baselayout-1.8.6.2 and my machine halts after booting the kernel.  I get an 
error message that states that my /var/state directory is non-existant and that I should mount my 
drive writable and create the directory.   
 
Here is a copy of my /etc/fstab: 
/dev/hda2			none		    swap	sw						0 0 
/dev/hda6			/		    reiserfs	noatime						0 0 
/dev/hda5			/boot	    reiserfs	noauto,noatime,notail				1 1 
/dev/hda7			/var		    reiserfs	noatime						0 0 
/dev/hda8			/usr		    reiserfs	noatime						0 0 
/dev/hda9			/mnt/snatch-local   reiserfs	noatime						0 0

need to check for existing bugs first. see bug #15175, then chroot your install from the disk and run etc-update

You did not update /etc/inittab.  Attach your version.
