It should be - check_statedir() is callled in /sbin/rc _before_ any |
| 11 |
changes are done to /var/lib/init.d/, and it tries to create the |
| 12 |
dir if it do not exist ... |

Well, that basically means one of two things (usually): |
| 22 |
1) `/etc/init.d/checkroot' do not exist, or is a invalid symlink |
| 23 |
2) You sill have some remaining side effects from the fs corrupion. |

Not sure. Maybe run fsck on the partition a few times again with -f, |
| 27 |
or cp -ax the contents to another drive, remove and recreate the |
| 28 |
partition and cp it back (note: please do not do second if you are |
| 29 |
not 100% sure you will get your system up and running again). |
