Yeah, you are kindof in a catch-22: you can't use the rescue cdrom to "boot an installed system"; because it would give you the same error. This is what I would do, but others may have a better method. What you can do is boot from cd, and choose "start rescue system". Or you can give the "single" option to the linux boot prompt. Then once you are booted, mount your root partition, like mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /mnt then cd to /mnt/etc/init.d mkdir bak mv SuSEfirewall* bak that will get all the firewall scripts out of the init.d directory so it won't be found on boot. Then you can do a normal boot, turn off starting the firewall at boot, and move the scripts out of bak into init.d Then work on why the hanging is occuring, check the logs. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

Type "1" at the lilo prompt to go into single user mode (firewall doesn't load here). Once you have booted, go to Yast>Run level editor, and disable starting personal firewall. Then at the prompt, type "init 3" or "5" to go to whichever runlevel you normally boot into to check. All this is as root, don't type in the quotes. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.

I had something like this happen to me just the other day. I'd got into something with alsa, and did a make etc, and it changed some things in modules.conf that I didn't realize it had done. When I rebooted, the main problem was something to do with the firewall, but it also showed two lines in modules.conf that couldn't be found or initialized. Look at the boot messages, and see if it's telling you about any problems in modules.conf. I did an mcedit of modules.conf, commented out the two lines it had told me about, rebooted, and voila! my system came back up, firewall and all. Nothing in the boot messages said *anything* was wrong with the firewall, other than at the end. I hope this gives you an idea of where to maybe look. John

Don't add the ~. It should work after that. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM. I say, by the grace of God, I am what I am.
I can't start any command in '1' mode (mount,startx)
when i type
#startx
Error is:
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx : xauth : command not found
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx : xinit : command not found
when i want to mount floopy and other hardisk
#mount floppy
Error is:
mount: can't find /media/floppy in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab.
I think some files corrupted.
So i can't login and i can't start any command. I want to rescue '/home' and
'/root' directories How can i do this?
Any method ?
