Your subject line seems to imply that you do not see a login prompt on the
console. But after reading your post it does not seem like that is the
case. So, here is what I am assuming from what you said:
(a) You _do_ see a login prompt on the console of the machine. Right ?
(b) When you try to login to the console, it says "login incorrect" or a
similar message. (this message will be helpful if you can post it)
Assuming (a) and (b), here is what you can try:
(c) Attempt to login on the console.
(d) After the console login fails, login remotely using ssh and look at the
bottom of the following two files:
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
If you see any error messages there, please post them to this group. Lets
talk after that.
Cheers,

1. Upgrade Problem: Redhat 5.2 -> 6.1 question --->
Hi -
It's been awhile since I upgraded Redhat but have a nicely
running version of 5.2 at the moment. Yesterday I ftp'd all the 6.1
files onto a partition under /RedHat/RPMS & /RedHat/base and made a boot
diskette using the latest boot.img and rawrite. I was able to boot off
the diskette, tell it the correct partition & have it find it , answer a
few questions and off it went to parse the RPM files..
About 30 seconds into that operation, it came back with a
pagefull of errors concerning python 1.5 (I've got python 1.5-1.5 on RH
5.2 and in the 6.1 RPMS dir I've got python 1.5-2.7). The errors
culminate in one final statement about an undefined symbol. Of course,
I've no idea what they're talking about but here's what I tried:
1) In order to determine whether it was a problem with the installed
python or the 'to-be-installed' python version, I tried doing a clean
install of linux (up to a point before it'd trash my 5.2 installation)
and it came up with the problem again. That means that it must be a
problem with the 6.1 install from HD.
2) Tried to install python manually using RPM but there's so many
dependencies (and important ones too! ) that I couldn't determine
anything this way.
Anyway: This strikes me as a pretty generic problem if I can just
download all the files for 6.1 and have success with the boot disk and
the finding of the files yet have a problem. Has anyone else here had a
similar problem with installing or upgrading of redhat 6.1 after ftp'ing
it to your system? I suppose a 6.1 cd doesn't count if it's even
released yet -
thanks -
Mick
