Assuming that grub is your bootloader, you should get a boot menu after you power on the machine. Hit "e" on the entry you boot from, and then hit "e" on the kernel line. Add a "1" to the end of the kernel line and then hit "enter". Hit "b" to start booting. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew.Bridgeman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 11:32 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Problem Binding to Nis server How do i get the machine to boot into single user mode?

I usually don't worry about editing the files individually and let "authconfig" handle that all for me. For your hung machines, I'd boot in single-user-mode, disable ypbind "chkconfig ypbind off", boot the rest of the way up and then verify the config with "authconfig". -Steve -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
