https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227988 Summary: No root login after net installation. Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gerberb@zenez.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com On IRC there have been a lot of reports of no passowrd being set for root. Needing to create a root password like using http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/5... Or other root password setting methods like bash shell from grub, rescue system. I was able to deublicate this by doing a net install from local NFS shares. During the installation I took my NFS share offline and after a time the installation looked like it had finished. On the reboot there was no root password. I created one and then restarted the installation. Many have waited over 10 hours for an net installation and then can not login. I am not sure what to do. I think this is being caused by all the load on the main/mirrors for installation. I am not sure what can be done. I felf it needed to be reported.
