login/inittab problems

1999-04-10 Thread Chris Brown
Hello all, I recently did a slink install on one of my machines, but now when I log on to my machine on the console it doesn't ask for a root password. The /etc/inittab file looks exactly the same as another machine I have that works properly. Does anybody know where the offending con

Hi dear debianers; I've installed Slink and worked fine. (hard disk A for Windows; hard disk B for Linux, boot from loadlin or sometimes from floppy.) Now I want to install the kernel-package downloaded from Debian for a kernel compile (kernel-source-2.0.36 downloaded as well). Wh

Troubles with 2.2.3

1999-04-10 Thread Jaroslaw Berezowski
I have a trouble with 2.2.3 kernel (updated from 2.0.36). During system shutdown when unmounting root filesystem sometimes I get message that it's busy and can't be unmounted. Why? Scripts stop all daemons and other processes are killed. Does somebody else have such problem?
