Rob,

It seems that "su root -c /sbin/sh" can't fix the problem. Have you ever
tried this method ?

Gary,

AFAIK, the only method is press "STOP+A" and run "sync" command, then
restart your machine from CDROM.

Regards.
John

How about logging in as another user and running su root -c /sbin/sh? That
will grant you a root shell and you can fix the problem.
