It hangs on Bringing up ppp0. Below are the emails I found and I tried to follow the instructions for changing ifcfg-ppp0 after booting using: linux emergency. The problem is that the ifcfg-ppp0 file is system and read only. I checked it's attributes and it has rw but when I open it in vi, it firts tells me "Unable to open swap file for recovery". After that I can do the changes just fine but when I try to exit vi and save the changes (:w!) it says ifcfg-ppp0 Can't open file for writing. I tried to copy or rename the file but the system wuoldn't let me do it saying: Read only file system. > > After that I tried booting Linux using: linux single but it hang on sh-2.05. > > > > What else can I try?
