Can't boot: permission denied

Ok, this happened two days ago to me. I hopped on IRC for 10 minutes, but no one had any idea what the problem was, and I ended up just doing a complete reinstall. Now it's happening again and, well, I really need this fixed. I have no idea what's causing this, When I boot up, I get something similar to the following: (this is just a sample from my memory...if someone really does want a complete output I guess I could write everything down and post it)

Mounting local filesystems....

/etc/rc.sysinit: line 293: /bin/mount: permission denied
/etc/rc.sysinit: line 299: /bin/mount: read-only filesystem

Initializing Random Seed...

/etc/rc.sysinit: line 321: /bin/cat: permission denied

INIT: cannot execute /etc/rc.multi
INIT: cannot execute /sbin/agetty
INIT: Id "c1" respawning too fast
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

Re: Can't boot: permission denied

Which version of the installer are you using?

Re: Can't boot: permission denied

I'm using the latest installer. It boots up fine and works flawlessly for a day or two, and then this happens =/

here's my pacman.log if I installed anything I shouldn't have. http://pastebin.com/m5a8de163

and here's my rc.conf: http://pastebin.com/m314a81e6

Re: Can't boot: permission denied

I have latest Arch64 and the same problem. I installed system three days ago. Today I see INIT errors.

//edit

Ehh... solved. I had mistakes in /etc/fstab.
