[<gemma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was changing some user settings in the root account on my laptop the other day, when i logged out Linux stopped responding I left it to sort itself out but batteries ran out and things weren't unmounted properly. Now my Linux won't boot.

When it tries i get:

"Error: /proc must be mounted

To mount /proc /proc -t proc

/bin/grep: Permission Denied
/bin/awk: Permission Denied

Checking root file system couldn't open /proc/partitions
no such file or directory is /proc mounted?"

Requests root password and drops into shell

I tried "mount /proc /proc -t proc"
got "bash: /bin/mount: Permission Denied"

Anyone had any similar problems and willing to help me?
I haven't had Linux for long so I'm not used to using the shell
I haven't been to any meetings yet but I could bring laptop along if anyone wants a look
