login: no shell: permission denied
 

My laptop has several CentOS Linux partitions. When I boot into one of them and try to login (I set runlevel to 3 in /etc/inittab because the GNOME login was failing) I get this error:

This happens when I try to login as root, or any user. I can't do anything if I can't login. However, I can login to a different partition, and mount the problematic partition, and change this (like runlevel in /etc/initab).

Any ideas on what is causing this (selinux?) and how to fix it?

Hi there,

I haven't seen this myself, but a quick google seems to indicate this could be caused by selinux. Try looking at the advise in the following articles:

Good luck!
