Product: kernel
Component: booting
Summary: kernel automatically root with failsafe
Version: 2.4.21-0.13mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've just installed mandrake...I'm not such an expert, so I'll try...
(first: I have 2 boot images: initrd.img and initrd....mdk.img: is this normal?)
But the real issue:
When I start up with lilo, I can also choose failsafe. When I choose this
evrything boots and(like with previous version) I would expect that a password
is prompted. Nothing happens! I'm looged in as root(checked: whoami -> root) and
normally root has as shell bash, but now it's sh....What's happening?????
For the moment I've removed failsafe, but I suppose there are workarounds...
This is not really good for the securit:
it goes: tell init to go to single user mode...
and I'm immediately root...
I've changed nothing of init(don't now anything about those files...) or any of
the boot files theirself...
