I did the following from the LiveCD though. First, I mounted my installation at /mnt using Code: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt Then, I opened Nautilus as root Code: gksu nautilus Then , i browsed to /mnt/sbin/init, opened its Properties>Permissions and selected Allow Read and Write for user root. Also, checked off the Allow Running File as Program box. Then, browsed to /mnt/etc/init,, opened Properties of the entire folder> Permissions and selected Allow Read and Write for user root and clicked on Apply Permissions to Enclosed Files. Then simply rebooted and it worked. Note: One of the two steps might be unnecessary, but I am not going to go back and find out.
