HI,

And from the man page of who use check for runlevel, 1 is single, 2-3 is
multiuser.

1. Keyboard works in Single-user mode, not in multi-user

Can anyone give me a clue why this is happening:

    When I boot up to the "LILO boot:" prompt, if I type in "linux", the
keyboard won't work when I get to the "login" prompt (booting into text
mode, not X windows).  I can telnet into the system, but can't get the
keyboard to affect anything, even the screen blanker.
    But, if I enter "linux single" at the "LILO boot:" prompt, the
keyboard DOES work, and I can log in normally.  But can't do much.

    What file would cause this behavior?
