When i press ctrl-D for normal login the machine reboots. I tried running fsck, e2fsck, checked for bad blocks and made force checking too. still the problem is not solved. This system was running perfectly for 6-7 months. Please help. thanks in advance and waiting for the reply. -- Best regards, shantanu mailto:shantanu@mail.vu
