At this point, I don't know if anyone can tell what's wrong or how to fix it. You might as well reinstall. How spread out is your data? Save /home, /etc, and pkg_info -qm and off you go. I usually make /etc a git repo so I can diff and roll back changes, etc. And keep a seperate partition for backups so I can wipe the system drive and reinstall if needed (haven't needed it yet). You could also try to make a site.tgz of your data to make reinstallation easier if it's that complex. Tim.
