Re: Newbie Install Question on Umax S900 (and now 7200! and7300?)
Does the system run at all? Can you log in and see what
init ID 1 is, and possibly shut it off? Read the man page
for inittab if you need to. The other option is to boot the
machine in single user mode, and try to fix it that way
(again, look in inittab and figure out what's going on).
There may be some slight hardware difference that is causing
some program to crash. You did a complete reinstall from
scratch, right?
