Booting problem from last week

Hi,

I did an update to the machine at work which included the broken version
of init-tools (IIRC) which means that booting may not work (which it
doesn't at work).

Is there any way to rescue said system? I know on the laptop I did it by
using RIP Linux, chroot /mnt/linux and chkconfig the clamav stuff which
seemed to be annoying the system.

Problem is with the box at work is the crash occurs at the end of
discovering and allocating PID values to network connectors and I've no
idea what service controls that or how to switch it off so I can at
least boot and manually fix the problems.

Any advice would be appreciated.

TTFN

Paul
