Hi,
You may have a corrupted entry in one of the filesystems, try hitting
return to get the /bin/sh, then you may want to "mount -r all" for mounting
all of your filesystems in read only mode, then backup all your important
data and then check out the /etc/fstab file "cat /etc/fstab" in order to see
what are the mount points of your filesystems, "cd /" and see if the mount
poins exists in there, if they dont exist you may create it, if they do
exist, unmount the filesystems with "umount all" and run "fsck /" and the
same for all of your filesystems (ex. "fsck /usr", "fsck /var"), to try to
fix your problem.
Maybe someone in the list can give you a better way for doing this.
I Hope this helps...
Ales
