Hi,
My first install.
IBM T21, 128MB RAM
Alternate install seemed OK. On first reboot all seemed well but got a repeating blue screen with a spinning flower.
Rebooted into recover mode - got the same thing but with a lot more text to be seen between the blue screen/spinning flower.
It is waiting for a login name and password - but before I can enter it loads the blue screen/flower again.
Each cycle is about 90 seconds and I can enter a couple of characters each cycle. Userid goes in OK but on the password I get a timeout error before I can enter all the characters.
If I drop to root I seem to be able to do anything (but I don't know what to do next).
I can login as Username without problem.
Any suggestions?
Simon
