Guess what I did ... I deleted the symlink /lib/libdl.so.2. The target is still there. Its just the symlink thats gone. I deleted it with the intention of recreating it to point to a 32 bit version (just trying something out). But of course, once it was gone I lost the ability to do anything.
I was unable to su/sudo to recreate it. After much deliberation, and after having determined I was going to be able to do FA from there, I rebooted in the hope recovery mode would still be able to get in as root and fix this simple problem. It cant. I cant login as anyone without the symlink.
It would probably be easy to fix with a live cd, BUT I have a RAID0 setup (RAID1 for /boot). I tried the live cd but it sees the 6 partitions (2 RAID1s for /boot, 2 RAID 0s for /, 2 RAID0s for /swap) as invalid when it comes to mounting.
HELP!!!!
=== EDIT ===
Actually, I didnt try a live cd. I tried recovery on my installation cd (the alternate cd). I dont have a damned blank disc here to try the desktop cd. I wonder if Ill have some success with that?
