[expert] Services not running on bootup

[Fridhar]

I had to reset my system while running. Now when 
the system boots up none of the services startup.
I have to manually start them to have my LM 8.1 
running. I presume the file system mus have been screwed up. 

When I shutdown the system, it cannot unmount some 
partitions reporting that "cannot link to /etc/mtab~", what is the function of 
mtab?

Can anyone explain how can I restore my services 
and a normal shutdown process.

Thanks
Sridhar

Try resetting the cable modem. Power off the modem for a minute, connect to
ur original setup and bring up the interface

Subject: [expert] Comcast Switchover (DHCP Problem)


 Here in South Jersey we have not officially made the switch.  However,
 Friday morning without warning my cable modem stopped working.

 Previous set up:

 Cable Modem
 || (eth1 STATIC IP)
 Linux
 || (eth0 Internal IP)
 Switch = Win 98
 ||
 ||
 Win Me

 Reading up on how the change went down (and after waiting 3 hours on
 hold without getting to talk to ANYONE) in other places, I set my Win 98
 box to DHCP and plugged it directly into the Cable Modem.  On a reboot,
 that worked, but that's not my desired solution.  I figured it couldn't
 bet that hard to do the same for the Linux box, so I redid the cables to
 the original config above and used linux.

 I have the following DHCP rpms installed (rpm -qa | grep dhcp):

 dhcpcd-1.3.20pl0-1mdk
 dhcp-common-3.0-0.rc12.1mdk
 dhcpxd-1.0.3-8mdk
 dhcp-client-3.0-0.rc12.1mdk

 I used linuxconf to set eth1 to DHCP and let it reload the config. On
 the reload it failed to bring up eth1 saying it timed out.  Clues?

the machine I am not able to ping.
