Description Jan Engelhardt 2006-01-20 16:50:27 UTC

After a fresh install of 10.1-Alpha4-i386, I am unable to login.

Welcome to SUSE LINUX 10.0.42 (i586) - Kernel whatever (tty1)
linux login: root
Password: (correct one)
Error in service module <- wth!?

linux login: root
Password: (something wrong)
Login incorrect <- ok

This seems to happen when the root filesystem is either read-only (lots of read-only errors during boot) or when the root partition is mounted using a label (normal "green" boot).

LABEL=root / xfs defaults 1 0

I also get this at the rescue system's login prompt. Something really is not right here.

pam?

Comment 4 Jan Engelhardt 2006-01-22 19:21:04 UTC

Nothing in syslog.
On a "normal" install where no labels are involved (xfs though), it happens right away after [install][reboot][postinstall] at the mingetty prompt. So, I have not changed anything.

Seems fixed in 10.0.42-beta1.
