[Mageia-discuss] Booting into safe mode -- not working

I was in the process of working out problems with a friend of mine who 
had trouble with her config files and I wanted to boot into "safe mode" 
to walk her through "drakconf".

When I tried to boot into safe mode it stopped at "Failed to issue 
method call: Transaction is destructive". My box still boots fine into 
regular mode but won't in safe mode. What is curious also, is that I 
have another box that I am repairing for someone and it does the same 
thing, it won't boot into safe mode. However, I tried it on laptop and 
it does boot into safe mode. Weird.

Anyway, any ideas on how I could get safe mode to work properly again? I 
took a camera shot of the monitor and the output on the last page of 
booting up into safe mode where it died[1].

NOTE: all systems are running Mageia2

Thanks for any help.

Marc
