[SuSE Linux] Fell at last hurdle
OK, I went through the SuSE 6.0 installation process (new install) and evrything seemd to be going smoothly, until the point where it had to reboot to finish off. Got to the login: prompt, but whatever I enter (root, etc.) it just comes back with the kernel announce line and the login prompt: no password prompt, nothing, so I can't actually go in to check (and check what?). Suggestions welcome (preferably not a re-install!). -- Chris Keenan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Try ALT+F2 and see if you can login on tty2 I had similar tty lockups in 5.3 -alexm - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

I could not log in either. My root password contained an "y" and the keyboard was still set to US. Took me a few tries to find out...
