I had a simular problem with my slackware system recently. I booted the system using the slackware install disks. Then mounted the root partition manually. Fixed the problem and rebooted. Life is good :-)
Tell me more about the nature of your problem and Slackware version, and I will try to give more specific directions. -----Original Message----- From: Derek Doucette [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 4:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: locked out of slackware alright, I kinda screwed myself here but now I need someone else to help me fix it if possible. I installed snort, and added it to my rc scripts to start at boot time, yet forgot to include the '&' after the command to make it run in the background so when I boot it now, it starts snort and then is stuck there and I can't stop it or get any farther in the boot process so I can edit my mistake. I am using lilo, and when I tried typing linux single or linux 1, I get the error no such image. The only available image is linux-2.2.19. I tried to download and get the boot disk from the slack site, (bare.i) but it still booted up fine and into the same scenerio, is there a way to boot to single user mode from a boot disk, or is there another way that I can get access to my box to fix my error??
