@daemonrebel:

following worked me (borrowed post #9):

need to
(i) create directories /run , /run/lock,
(ii) move contents of /var/run /run , /var/lock /run/lock,
(iii) delete directories /var/run , /var/lock
(iv) create replacement simlinks; e.g. 'ln -s /run /var/run' , 'ln -s /run/lock /var/lock'

if you've never messed linux, little tricky. booted w/o recovery console (it gets stuck in read mode me sometimes). once point it's hanging , failing boot further, hit ctrl-alt-f1. bring virtual terminal. log in root or sudoer (you should one). attempt move contents of folders described, like:

mkdir /run
mv /var/run/* /run]

etc.

if there in these folders cannot move or delete, it's possible special mount point file. if rm <file> fails, try umount -fl <file> attempt rm <file> again. after move of contents, create symlinks, reboot, , should okay.
