Hi:
I made a mistake when originally updating my personal Athena
workstation: I ran the update_ws program during an X session instead of
in a console window. At the end of the install, there was an error. I
then shutdown X and reran the update from a console windows. This
succeeded, or at least that's what the update program said. However,
when I reboot, the startup process stops in the middle and throws me
into a shell. No error messages appear to be generated, it just stops
and I get a root prompt. However, if I do a 'telinit 5' then everything
continues and appears to work fine (I'm writing this from the
workstation, in fact). Do you know what happened?
