Kern,
Thanks for the reply. I found my login problem. It was due to the fact that
we change the shell type for root. Once I added it to the rootsbin.list the
login worked fine.
I really like what you have done with the Bacula Rescue so far. Easy to follow
and the first one I tried that actually created a 'bootable' image :-) I am
currently looking at the 'getdiskinfo' script to figure out why no partition.
or format. files were created. Looks like it got confused with the
/dev/cciss/c*d* device file types.

Hi,
I am trying to create Bacula Rescue CD. I installed the following RPM's on
my server,
bacula-rescue-1.36.3-1
bacula-client-1.36.3-1
and the creation of the bootcd.iso seemed to go fine with the 'make all'
since I was able to successful boot from the image.
The problem I am having is that at the login prompt, I am unable to log in.
When I try to log in as root with the valid login, the login prompt just
re-appears. If I try to use a 'invalid' passwd, I get a password
incorrect' message. Any ideas? Shadow passwd's are being used and the
kernel is 2.4.21-27.0.4.ELsmp.
One other user mentioned the same thing but on a Mandrake system, if I
remember right. Unfortunately, I never had such problems, and I've now moved
up to FC3 so everything is different.
The Bacula rescue disk IMO is something really valuable, but it has been an
enormous pain for me because of such reports and the change in boot sequence
between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. I still have not been able to get the rescue
disk working on 2.6.
I'm now looking at a number of different LiveCDs, some of which allow users to
add their own data files. This takes an enormous amount of time researching,
but it would be an ideal solution for me -- I could then leave the boot
details to others and concentrate on the Bacula rescue part :-)
In an off chance, you might try commenting out (or deleting) the line that
reads
exec /dev/console /dev/console 21
in rescue/linux/cdrom/roottree/linuxrc
