I'm in the process of upgrading to kernel 2.6 (mm-sources), but I ran into a very strange problem (both with 2.6.2 as 2.6.3).
The kernel seems to boot fine and the systems sits at the login prompt. I can switch terminals and type ok, but I can not log in, neither as root or as a user. After entering the password the system just waits, and then says 'login timed out'. I can reach the system remotely, but I can't log in either, althoug the connection is opened and stays open. Below is the debug of an ssh session. I only have these entries in the logs for the entire time that the system was booted with 2.6: --- Feb 12 16:52:14 [kernel] Linux version 2.6.3-rc1-mm1 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo L inux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)) #1 Tue Feb 10 16:52:56 CET 2004 Feb 12 16:52:14 [kernel] VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
