I can get the virtual machine to boot into single user mode, but it freezes after a few minutes.
Have a look at /var/log/boot.msg and /var/log/messages
Nothing gets written to /var/log/messages. boot.msg gets written, but I haven't seen any clues there. I'll look some more.
Maybe it freezes before syslog is started.
Did you try runlevel 3? Single user mode is 1.
I tried runlevel 3, but it freezes at "Starting nfsboot (sm-notify)".
Humm... I think there was an option to boot each service one by one, asking whether run it or not. It can be done via:
PROMPT_FOR_CONFIRM="no"
in /etc/sysconfig/boot, but I thought there was an option on the grub prompt also. You could use that to bypass nfsboot from starting.
Otherwise, perhaps you can try "chkconfig nfsboot off" to disable that service if you can reach a console.
Maybe the network is not running. The hardware will surely be different, and configuration probably too.
This is getting me somewhere. I've narrowed down the problem to about 5 possible items. Off the top of my head, they are: coldplug fbset kbd and 2 others I can't remember (I'm not at the system in question right now). If anybody else has any ideas, let me know. -Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
