I installed OI yesterday on VMWare server. After that i did some alterings and installed postgres and so. It all worked fine untill i ran out of memory so i did "Shutdown -y ". Bit this lead to single usermode so i did a init 5 from the console. This didn't work so i halted the machine by vmware

After giving oi more memory i restarted it and then strange problems arose:
Nsswitch.conf was without dns, nslookup.conf was empty, postgres lost every setting but the database was still there. 
I put everything into place and did a restart to test it. I did 'init 6' and ... Again everything was scrambled. No dns settings, no postgres ( i even had to reinstall the postgres service) and a lot was lost. 

Any ideas how this can happen?

Kind regards,
