Greetings,
Recently, I have shutdown my machine (AMD450 6.4Gb) improperly so many
times that now I'm getting a message saying
...you have been dropped to a shell. (Press Control+D for normal start up):
After recieving this message I usually give the root password to get into
the system unfortunately, I don't know enough to do any kind of maintenance
and after 3 or 4 commands the keyboard ends up freezing which is why I have
been shutting down improperly anyway. When I try to run the rescue image I
end up getting a kernel panic. I would like to boot from the cd and
reinstall RH6.0 on my machine. But when I go into the BIOS and set it to
boot from the cd it ends up booting like normal leading me to the same
error message rather than run an install.
I would like to know, this problem I'm having with the keyboard freezing
could this be do to the fact that when I install RH6.0 the monitor,
keyboard, and mouse are different from the ones I use when I take my system
home to use it? And, how can I get the install program to run so that I can
reinstall, because simply booting from the cd doesn't seem to be working
and the cd is not giving me the rescue image as an option?
