F14 login fails on backup copy I have a working F14 [call it F14usb8] on sda8 on my external usb. I made a backup copy onto my 2nd scsi disk, seen as sdc7 [call it F14sdc7] This was preparation for using it for preupgrade to F16. Booting F14sdc7 at first looks normal. But I am unable to log in: using "3" on kernel line it presents me with a black console with a "login:" line it accepts my user name; but when entering my password, it just spits back at me another "login:" Which again fails to take my password. It does not say 'incorrect password'. under graphical boot, it shows a blue screen with small balloon with "f" but never produces a login panel. At least sometimes I can ctrl-alt-backspace to get me to a console which fails in same way as above. var/log/gdm ends with: gnome-settings-daemon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.
