Startup problem

Recently, i did configure my firewall (FC3) and whenever it reaches firewall startup during init, it will hangs. Any idea how to bypass it or solve it ? Thanks

Regards

Try booting from a rescue disk and editing your startup script to load the firewall in the background. This may work, but it would mean that your firewall isn't really starting...

Hi, i don't have rescue disk. Just have setup disk. Also how to edit startup script to background ? i was told that i can bypass it using single user mode but how to do that ?

Regards
Daniel

It depends where the firewall is initialized - somewhere in /etc/rc.d - I'm not too familiar with FC startup scripts. You could grep for it.

To boot in single user mode, if you're using lilo then press 'Ctrl-X' at the splash screen and add "linux single" to the prompt. If you're using grup then you press 'e' to edit the boot parameters, add "single" to the end of the line with your kernel, then "Enter" and 'b' to boot.
