<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Dear Sir/Madam,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Only recently I decided to start familiarizing
with LINUX (REDHAT 5.2). I made two installations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>One at home. A PLATO machine from
Pouliadis & Parteners.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Everything worked so well. Once the
installation completed in 30min, everything was running smoothly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I take the Hard Disk (physically) and I install it at my
SIEMENS machine at work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Boot it from the BIOS (selecting the hard drive) and nothing
happens. Just "LI" printed on screen.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I change the master slave configuration and nothing
happens. Again LI.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>All right I boot from a boot up disk.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Everything fine, login promt and I put the "root"
password and ........... Password is incorrect.!!!!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>After three installations with different passwords and
......... Password is incorrect!!!!!! I am desperate and I write to
you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I would appreciate your assistance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Yours Sincerely,</FONT></DIV>
