Hi,

====================================================
INIT: No inittab file found
INIT: Can't open(/etc/ioctl.save, O_WRONLY): No such file or directory

Enter Runlevel:
=====================================================

Can anyone help me to boot my linux box.

Regards,
Mike

Try answering 'single'. That boots into 'single user mode': no daemons, no try to load inittab. Just a shell to let you check if there exists an /etc/inittab file.
