Dear All,
After doing the last F18 updates, I cannot boot my machine. I get in
the emergency mode and the message:
sulogin: /root: change directory failed: Permission denied.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

I don't know if you and I have a similar problem.
I did a format/install on / of F18 and have no problems with the / partition.
The / partition is ext4.
I did not format my /home partition. It is still ext3. I am having problems with it.

It seems my /home partition needs fsck repair every 5th or 6th time I reboot.
I have to give the root password at the prompt and do
fsck -y /home
The problem on the /home partition seems to vary.
Last time the problem was inodes multiply used in the chrome browser cache directory.
I guess I would ask if any of your partitions are in need of fsck repair.
Perhaps you can remove quiet mode and the Redhat banner from the grub2 boot options during boot (I think you have to figure out how to remove the quiet param and rhgb param from the line that start linux /boot/vmlinuz...--could someone correct me on this please and explain better how to do this please) and get messages indicating the nature of the boot problem.
