Description Dan Johnson 2012-10-04 19:15:16 UTC

When booting, the livecd fails to start many services (including network) due to /var/run being a symlink to /run, but /run not existing as a directory on the livecd image.

The first thing that fails is mkdir /var/run (file exists), but many other services fail to start.

As a workaround, after I get a shell on the livecd (which does work for me), I can run:
mkdir /var
rc default

And everything comes up fine. Having to type this every time is, of course, somewhat inconvenient.

Let me know if I can provide any more details to help diagnose this issue, although it appears straightforward from my perspective.
