Hi all,

when I rebooted my machine yesterday, what was my surprise
when booting my freshly compiled kernel (2.6.1) booting
finished immediately after init start (I think so), last
messages I've seen were:

...
INIT: version 2.84 booting
INIT: entering runlevel 3

and here login prompt appears

When I try to log in as root or whoever else, I get
something like:
FATAL: cannot write to TTY (PTY?) permission denied

All these messages above are written as I remember them,
because I have no idea where to copy them from (if it's
even possible).

I have another kernel in my boot, it's version is 2.4.21 and
it's kernel I use if something goes wrong. I'm sure I
didn't change anything in this kernel config. If I try to boot
it, the result is the same as in the 2.6 case.

I thought, the problem is in reiserfs root filesystem, so I
change it to ext3 today. Guess what happened, yes, the same as
before.

I have no clue what is happening. Please point me to the right
direction.

Thank you.
