I am in the dead end now. During the Linux installation, somehow it did not ask me for the root passwd. Now the installation is done, but I don't know what the root passwd is. I tried to boot to single mode to re-install again, but failed. I tried from the GRUB boot loader, but it did not take anything a or e or space bar even how quickly I am, the machine just booted normally. What should I do?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: can not boot in single mode
at the prompt
when the system will boot into rescue environment edit the file /mnt/sysimage/etc/inittab locate the line
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
and change it to
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 --autologin root
(all on the same line)
save and exit and boot your system normally.
This will cause root to login automatically on first terminal -tty1.
when you're logged in as root-do all necessary changes....

Re: can not boot in single mode
Did you changed anything else in the setup program? You may try settings BIOS values to default, and then configure the boot options again to start with cdrom first.
