Try to boot in single user mode, then the sysklogd won't start automatically. To boot in a different runlevel, just append the digit of the runlevel to the kernel command line. That means, if you use Lilo (and have it configured so that you get a prompt), type in "name_of_configuration 1". This will boot Linux into the runlevel 1, the single user mode. Then you could remove the init links, so that sysklogd won't start on normal bootup (you have to remount your root partition read/write with 'mount -o remount, rw /'). Then, you can try to start it manually while watching the logfiles ... or something like that. moritz -- /* Moritz Schulte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * http://hp9001.fh-bielefeld.de/~moritz/ * PGP-Key available, encrypted Mail is welcome. */
