I decided to re-install Debian 2.0 today from scratch, because I wanted to re-partition my hardisk. I have the official Debian CD and using that I repartitioned my disk so that it now has 4 linux partitions - 1 large root partition (primary), two smaller logical ones (for /home and /etc) and a swap partition. I contiued with the installation and as usual once the base system was installed I rebooted my machine (with the boot floppy in the drive). The kernel was booted, and I say all the usual messages until I saw something along the lines of :
INIT : no inittab INIT : no default runlevel Please enter runlevel : At this prompt I entered 2, and then I got back : No more processes left at this runlevel At this point I had to switch the machine off - ctrl-alt-del had no effect. Would this have anything to do with the fact that /etc is in a logical partition? Any help appreciated Brian Sheehan P.s. I installed several machines using the same CD, so it's definitely OK
