Boot to rl 1 and see if there are maybe stale pid/lock files on your system: /var/lock/subsys/crond /var/run/crond.pid If you find any of these, remove them and try again. Don't really have any better ideas. V On 5/22/06, Götz Reinicke <goetz.reinicke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi, I have a RHEL4 server which hangs on booting into the default runlevel 3. The bootprocess stopps at the crond. Booting runlevel 1 manualy from grub works, starting the services by hand works than too; e.g. networking, crond. Switching to runlevel 3 by "init 3" works too and the crond is startet as well, but I can't log in at the loginprompt; I doublechecked the rootpassword, but I do get the log-messsage, that the login failed. There are no errors in the logfiles concerning the default boot. Any ideas how to track the problem down? All I did was a reboot of the server ... Thanks a lot for any hint!!!
