When i try to boot my solaris 2.6 E220R server, i get this error message > INIT: cannot create /var/adm/utmp or /var/adm/utmpx >INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" " >INIT: failed write of utmpx entry:" " INIT Single User Mode Press Ctrl-d for normal boot process or enter roots password for system maintenance. Now when i do either of the last sentence above, nothing happens, it appears to hang. I used the solaris cd to boot to single user mode using boot cdrom -s with the intention of running fsck on the /var files system where the utmpx file recides. But when it boots to root prompt-single user mode with cd , i am unable to type successfully. Any letter i type just keeps running on , repeating it self like; fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffssssssssssssssssssssssssscccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkk........etc. Please how do i get out of this mess? I really need a quick response, it's my mail system.

search google for this. I ran into this problem before and I was able to get lots of info off of google. INIT: cannot create /var/adm/utmp or /var/adm/utmpx

just enter into system maintainance by typing the root password as a single user.Now go to var directory(if it is mounted) and create a directory `adm` inside var.change directory to adm and create two files by typing" touch wtmp and touch utmpx".Now u reboot ur system. This will definetely solve ur problem. regards tan________
