Re: Freeing unused kernel memory - Solved.

[Mark Farmer <farmerma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK folks, for the record & for anyone else who gets stuck on this, I 
fixed the problem by booting into rescue mode from cd1, chrooted into 
/mnt/sysimage and forced a reinstall of init like this:

When in rescue mode & chrooted mount the cdrom: mount /mnt/cdrom
Use rpm to force a reinstall of init:
rpm -ivh --force /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/SysVinit-2.78-19.i386.rpm

Exit the chroot environment & reboot.

Hope this helps someone in the future :-)
