Out of curiosity I attempted to "upgrade"
and selected 'poor' for security.
Still no luck and with the custom boot disk
and 'linux single' I get
boot: linux single
loading linux
Error 0x10
Obviously my last rpm -Uvh of msec
and custom init.sh which only set security
to 'normal' should not have caused this.
Console logins as root and 'su' from a users account
are all affected which was not the case several
months ago.
I will use a rescue disk and attempt
to alter the config files if necessary
but was hoping for another solution !?
Thanks to those who have responded.
