Hi evryone, I used a 2.2.6 for a year without problems and had the good idea to upgrade to 3.2 stable. The process was smooth ... until I updated the rc.conf file and wrote a mistake in it (kind of bad quote somewhere..) Now I have the following problem : I can't boot any Kernel . I always get the error message : etc/default/rc.conf : 222 : Syntax error : EOF in backquote substitution. Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: I type <RETURN> and get following prompt: [\u@\h \W]# mount command gives : wds01a on / (local, read-only) and HERE is the problem : The filesystem is read-only and consequently I can't delete rc.conf nor rename rc.conf.previous in order to correct my mistake. Other detail, I can't see any DIR called /etc/default and the files rc.conf + rc.conf.previous are in the /etc DIR I quickly gave life back to an old Linux 2.034 server who was retired (DX2-66 !) and try to find a solution... Thanks for any hint to make this filesystem writable. I tried many options of the mount command but maybe my ideas are not so clear now...
