Hello!

I'm just installed the Mandrake 10.1 version, and after bootmenu I have got a line:
Enter runlevel:

and if pressing 1, 2, 3 ... etc
then the answer is:
INIT: Entering runlevel: 1, 2, 3 ... etc
then
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

What can I do? What is wrong? Thx

possibly you/mandriva did not setup the graphic card
properly, you should have a graphical login
go run level 1 or 3 (i think) then
you can type to become root (="god on the computer")
su
then type drakconf and you will be able to configure the
video card (choose vesa for a starter)

run level 5 is the one with full graphical interface
this should have started by default, you can try typing 5 and then startx
and tell people what the messages are exactly

look as well (once you have been in run level 1 or 3)
and kind of stuck if you can find any clues by reading these files
(do these command lines)

less /var/log/syslog (pge upd down to scroll)
less /var/log/Xorg.0.log

command line is not fun when beginning but can be quite fast,
also from a distance it is easier than saying click here and there

People will need as much info as possible to help

you posted to wrong place, you should have started a new thread
Moderator will split thread for you

Welcome to LQ BTW
good luck
