FireHydrant....Login stalls

#1 Post by DapperMe17 »

Good afternoon,

After recently blacklisting my FireHydrant ethernet module in the Bootloader (by mistake ;),
my login stalls immediately after listing "2" cat/ lines. These lines appear immediately after I enter my "login" & "password" (which I have enabled to add a layer of security at boot).

It appears that I can enter something after a "#" line, which appears on the new line just below the "2" cat/ lines...however, I don't know what to type, in order to get back into my system...so that I can correct my previous adjustment to the Bootloader.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!

Wow thats one I never heard of before,
The only thing that comes to mind as a "Last Resort" is to delete your pup_save file, That will kill all your personal settings, Hopefully :)
Hope that helps but really I think their are better cures for it, But I just don't have a clue :? ttuuxxx

Tuxxx,

First of all, thanks for a great looking distro!

My setup is to the hard drive. Because I can only get "barely" past the log-in/password stage, I'm not sure there is a way to delete the "pup" file. It appears that the line ("#") after the two "cat/..." lines would probably accept some sort of command....but just not sure what I would enter...

Actually, this is the third fresh install of FireHydrant. I had the same problem with the other two installs, logging in after making adjustments to the module auto-load file.

For some reason, the "rc.scripts" line during login stands out....not sure if this is getting corrupt?

Would love to stick with your fine derivative, however, I'm looking for a lightweight distro that's stable in my application.

If you think of a way I can get back into my PC, please let me know!

Thanks
