After making a typo in a change to /etc/inittab, I can no longer do a normal reboot. I end up with these lines: Master Resource Control: run level 6 has been reached. Init: no more processes left in this run level

I have been getting back to my normal KDE by getting to run level 1 and remountiing the file system. But I have not found a way to restore normal shutdowns.
Can anyone help me with this? I am using Suse 7.1.
Two solutions: A. I think you may have screwed up your /etc/inittab. SuSEconfig, I believe, can fix it. Boot into runlevel 1 (single user mode) and make sure CHECK_INITTAB is set to yes in /etc/rc.config. Then run 'SuSEconfig' and you should be fine. B. This is the hands-on approach, maybe the faster one. Boot into single user mode and check your /etc/inittab. In the beginning will be line like so: id:3:initdefault: Or in your case, I believe: id:6:initdefault: Change this to: id:5:initdefault: And reboot... You should be fine now. -- Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0
