Linux: Solution for "mounting /proc error"

Today is so lucky

case:
RH Linux server startup failed.

mounting /proc error: bad files descriptor [fail]
....too many fail messages continued

solution:
1. login to repair filesystem (enter root passwords)
2. mount -n -o remount,rw / (remount the / for read & write)
3. rm -rf /dev/null (Remove the /dev/null entry)
4. mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3 (rebuild the /dev/null)
5. shutdown -r now or shutdown -h now (reboot the system)
