siemens and linux

[Alexios Konstantinidis]

Dear Sir/Madam,

Only recently I decided to start familiarizing with LINUX (REDHAT 5.2).  I made two installations.

One at home.  A PLATO machine from Pouliadis & Parteners.

Everything worked so well.  Once the installation completed in 30min, everything was running smoothly.

I take the Hard Disk (physically) and I install it at my SIEMENS machine at work.

Boot it from the BIOS (selecting the hard drive) and nothing happens.  Just "LI" printed on screen.

At first I thought that having assigned "hda1" for Linux during installation and having it as a slave hard disk on the SIEMENS system hdb1 (at the PLATO machine I had it as primary), causes the problem. (I don't think so because during installation there is a window specifing to use the partitions either as hda or hdb or something similar.

I change the master slave configuration and nothing happens.  Again LI.

All right I boot from a boot up disk.

Everything fine, login promt and I put the "root" password and ........... Password is incorrect.!!!!!!!

After three installations with different passwords and ......... Password is incorrect!!!!!! I am desperate and I write to you.

I always format the partitions at every new installation and I even made a new start-up disk for each installation (not significant but anyrate).  

I would appreciate your assistance.

Yours Sincerely,
Alexios Konstantinidis
