Hi all

well this is my 1st post in this great site

i was installing slackware 9

after compelting everything and installing lilo

when i try to boot to slack it stops at init-2.05b# after the line Freeing unused kernel memory: 112k freed

what could the problem be ??

and what is init-2.05b# ?? is it a kind of safe mode prompet ??

Well, if you're actually getting a bash-prompt
without logging in something in your install must
have gone wrong...

Cheers,

2.05b is the current Bash version number, goto slackware archives and get version 2.05a, this is what I did and it solved all probs. something is wrong with newer version. can't find what it is tho.
