Manjiri,I tried emailing you directly, but couldn't At any rate, try this, if there is a problem email me directly. make sure /var exists if you do a df (start the server in run level 3) it looks like /var is not coming up. if it isn't it wont show in df. if it is coming up, do a cd /var and see what it looks like. you may have done a rsync -av /var /newv instead of rsync -av /var/ newvar that trailing slash is very important. If you forgot the trailing slash, then there will be a subdirectory in /var called var. if the /var directory only has one subdirectroy called var, then reboot back into single user mode go into the /var/var directory, and do a: mv * .. then reboot back to normal runtime.

I followed all the steps with no errors, after rebooting while starting X11 I am getting following error. "Server Authorization directory (daemon/ServAuthdir) is set tp /var/gdm but this does not exist. Please correct GDM configuration /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and restart gdm."
