try to type

Linux single at the Lilo prompt.

This may allow you into the system.. This way you can run Linuxconf. And see if 
you can fix it from there.

Soryy never had this problem yet..

Subject:        [newbie] "Login incorrect" without a password prompt....

I have installed a fresh Mandrake 6.0 on a Pentium 100, 64 MB RAM, 1 GB IDE,
AHA1520 SCSI Controller, S3 video chipset, Sound Blaster and Compaq
Netelligent network card.
The installation goes fine , but when the installation finishes, and I
reboot, I get to the login screen and then for any login name that I enter I
get the response "Login incorrect".  The screen simply refreshes, and I'm
back to the login prompt.  I've tried "root" as well as the username that I
created during setup.  I don't even get a password prompt.  The refresh is
so fast you can barely see the "login incorrect" message before is
disappears.  If I try this too many times (about 10), I get a message
saying:

"INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"

Any help is appreciated!
