You say that you haven't made changes to config files, and then you cite
that /etc must be on root. you're not saying that you shifted /etc to
a non-root partition, but you're alluding that that is what you did.
If this is the case, then boot from a rescue floppy, or a rh6.2 cd in
rescue mode, and mount / and whever you put /etc, and copy /etc
back to the root partition. by the way, make sure that /bin, /sbin, /lib
are also on root, or you'll still have problems. If you really did move
/etc, then you might want to consider a reading of the linux filesystem
standard where things like this are spelled out.
