I'm running RHEL 3.0 on a Dell PowerEdge 2650. I've been trying to get the server connected to a SAN, and as part of that unnecessarily excruciating process, we've had to reboot the system several times. The last few times, the server has gone through the boot process apparently normally, but gets to the end of the services section and just stops. The last service to start is atd, but the login prompt doesn't come up.
Hitting the enter key will scroll the screen, but nothing else happens. The alternate ttys aren't available, either. (I'm booting to init 3, btw)
BUT, I can SSH to the server with no problems, and everything that is supposed to run seems to be running.
I've done some Google searching, and the closest thing I've found is "check the /etc/inittab mingetty entries," but they all look fine. I don't see any errors in boot.log, messages, or any other log file in /var/log.
I've been fighting an Asterisk Installation on SUSE 11.0 for weeks and this solved the last major obstacle. My problem was just like this - two PERL modules running in FG. Added & to command line and all is well.
