Raspberry is stuck at boot

Question

I am working for some time now on my raspberry and I think I messed everything up.

I have a program say ./test

In order to start this at boot I added to my /etc/rc.local file the following:

sleep 5
/var/www/test.sh > /dev/null 

I messed up changing a while loop in my ./test.

I've changed the sleep in the while loop to sleep 0.

Now the raspberry is stuck at boot. And probably because the CPU is maxed now...

The last message is:

[info] Checking for tables which need an upgrade, are corrupt or were not closed cleanly..

So is there any way I can stop it? Ctrl->C does nothing..

Edit:

1. I have connected a screen, a wlan dongle and a keyboard. (Removing everything but screen doesn't effect anything)

2. The code of test.sh is not special. The thing is, I have a do while loop, with some if statements and a sleep at the end. But I removed the sleep part so the CPU will go mental.

3. 

4. If i put it in my other computer, I have to fragment it before I can use it, so that's no good. Will take it to work tomorrow and take a look there. If I can access the rc.local file, it is solved for sure!

5. I have waited for more than 10 minutes, but nothing changed.

Answer 1

Since you didn't say what operating system you have on your other computer, but you talk about "If i put it in my other computer i have to fragment it before i can use it", I assume that it is Windows.

Solution: put your SD card in another LINUX computer. The Linux part of my answer is very important, because it will not do any nonsense (fragmenting/corrupting/...) like Windows does, because Windows doesn't know anything about the Linux filesystem on the Pi.

Then you just edit /etc/rc.local or /var/www/test.sh, whatever it takes to fix your problem.

If you don't want to experiment with Linux on your other computer, download a Live cd and burn that to a dvd or usb stick. I can recomment Ubuntu, but any other distro is ok.
