Are you running NIS ? -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Götz Reinicke Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 2:50 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: strange problem - server hangs at boot Runlevel 3 - RHEL4 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!!!
