This is one of those times you boot with a rescue disk/cd and go from there. I can anyhow not see how running devsfd in checkroot will fix anything, as it should have been run before that already (except if it failed, then dropped you to prompt, and you fixed whatever, and did not reboot or something, but then its really no reason to add a kludge which would have not been needed in the first place with a rescue disk/cd). The proper 'fix' which I see for this, is good rescue disks, and I am sure our livecd's fits the bill. If not, then rather file a bug about what is missing from it to help get your system up and running again in a case as this. |
