1] Mounting proc filesystem fails on boot: dup2: Bad file descriptor
While booting the system haults at the following message: "Mounting proc
filesystem dup2: Bad file descriptor." After running fsck everyting is clean
and the system will still hault on the same error.
This error is actually happen because the /dev/null entry in the device
inode permission is incorrect.
To get the system back up and running you must correct the problem with
/dev/null. Enter the root password at the service prompt and remount the root
filesystem read/write, delete /dev/null and create a new one.
mount -n -o remount,rw /dev/sdxX
rm -rf /dev/null
mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3
Change /dev/sdxX to the root partition.
[cause analysis]: /dev/null was modified by (user, something installed, an
intruder) giving it incorrect permissions or changing it to a regular file.
This can also be caused if user does 'mv filename /dev/null' for example. It
is not likely that this condition was created by an intruder. It is more
likely the result of operator error.
