Right, I was wondering about Bish's reply. The partition on my Deb box was mounted read-only and I was dropped into a shell - everything okay so far. I logged in and fsck'ed the partition, it seemed to correct the mistakes - from the messages displayed on console - yet, on reboot, the same old messages re-appeared, partition not unmounted properly etc. So where did I go wrong?
