Bingo!, what an idea. We use LVM so I simply detached all DASD except my
root and IPL my Linux guest. It was a mess but it did enter single user
mode and prompted me for a root password. I then logged on and
systematically disabled startups. It was not NFS that was the cause of my
grief but CAe
You know, I've seen this kind of thing result from having, for example,
dns (or nis) listed before files in nsswitch.conf, and then the dns
server becomes unavailable.

Peter,
It bothers me that you brought up a SLES10 system that did not have an
NFS mount and
it still did not give you a logon prompt. The idea of setting up a

Peter,
Did you bring a copy of your installation media?
Could you boot it and then look at your restored system?
How many NFS mounts are there? Are you saying you

that one of your NFS mounts has been backgrounded or
timed out?
Have you
Did you think of enabling the ascii console in the guest? If they let you touch
the HMC you might get through that way. Assuming you didn't disable all
non-network logins.

We are at Sungard performing our yearly contingency test. Normally we
restore our Linux DASD and IPL our Linux guest as a guest from Sungard?s

network configuration, reboot, and we are good to go. Usually we have to
