I am being hit hard by this. After playing around with gconf, I cannot boot anymore. The initial output showed that /bin/sh cannot be executed. I booted with a Live CD and corrected the symlink for /bin/sh, which linked to dash. After linking it to bash, I still have the following output:

/etc/rcS.d/S20checkroot.sh: line 353: /lig/init/readlink: Permission denied
/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh: line 37: /sbin/usplash_write: Permission denied
* Cannot initiatlize /etc/mtab.
/etc/rcS.d/S20checkroot.sh: line 389: /bin/rm: Permission denied
init: Unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default: Permission denied
init: rc-default process (3285) terminated with status 1

Any workarounds for this?
