What causes single user boot?
Hi!
I've got a webserver which is running constantly. A few days ago
we had to reboot it, because of a SCSI problem with the JAZ drive.
(side note: can you imagine the load went up to 115 still growing!?)
Well, after the reboot the system stopped at the prompt:
Press Ctrl-D or give root password.
I wonder what could have caused this? This is a huge problem,
because the computer is many kilometers away and administered
only over the net. It was tedious to find someone up there to
resolve this. That's why I would really like to find out what
caused this and how I can avoid it in the future.
BTW: running Hamm incl.all updates
Thanks a lot in advance for any hint or pointer!
Andy.
