SOLVED! Re: SOS! my LInux box is self destructing! (long)

[Net Llama]

OK, chalk this one up to being an idiot...yet again.  Seems that when i
was tinkering with /etc/inittab i put some innocent little hash marks in
front of the lines that specified what runlevels 4, 5 & 6 were.  So,
that's why Linux never ran any of the init scripts for those runlevels,
which caused all of the crazy weirdness.   Hash marks removed, and life
is good again.  Now, to wipe some of this egg off my face.
