| sorry, don't mean to double-post, but i accidentally buried this on in a previous unrelated thread: okay - here's an odd one - I tried to boot from the second CD to see if that would work and the loadlin command had a parameter that struck me as interesting... ramdisk_size=16384 that was the only thing that was really different about booting from the CD so i tried inserting that into the prevously stated command and voila! it worked... up until the login screen. here, it says: Welcome to Linux 2.4.22 (tty1) (none) login: no matter what I type, all that I get is that prompt again, in it's entirety. any thoughts? am I just too new to Linux to know what to do here? I thought if i typed root, it would ask for a password which i could either leave blank or type 'null' or something. but no, it just doesn't like anything. thoughts? if this is another thing that can be easily solved, i apologize... I know how easy it is to find answers if you know where to look - i guess i just don't know. thanks guys/girls, chip |
