Hi all,
My machine went feral which resulted in me having to kill the power to
kill it. Upon reboot everything looked good, fsck did it's job, [ok]'s
scrolled up the screen etc and then I got the login prompt. I entered my
username & password and then the fun began.
I got:
-bash: .: /etc/profile.env: cannot execute binary file
If I tried any command, say ls, I got:
-bash: ls: no such file or dir
I've now rebooted the machine using a relatively recent sysrescueCD and
had a look at profile.env and it's binary but I thought it should have
been text!!!! In the top line or so it mentions "ld" for some reason. I
checked the same file on the boot disk and it's text. One or two I found
on line are also text.
Does anyone have any idea as to what's going on here? Should I just
grab the profile.env from the boot disk and drop it into the /etc dir?
Or should I go through the whole process of chroot off a gentoo disc and
then run env-update as it says in the header of the text versions I'v seen?
Thoughts greatly appreciated,
Andrew
