Unable to Login to NFS RootFS

Archive SUSE Studio / Studio Express
1

Hi,

I have created a new NFS filesyste - by copyng most of the files from
the existing installed filesystem. The new one is of <1GB and i have
retaing /etc as is.

Now I am able to boot my another workstation with this NFS share as
RootFS but I am unable to login as root !

Also, OpenSuse is not accepting “single” kernel command line arg to get
in to SU mode and change the password !

I have even tried editing the shadow" file and made it an empty password
for “root”, still I am unable to login.

Any pointers would be helpful and appreciate it.

Regards,
Abhay

I’m not really sure what this has to do with SUSE Studio - perhaps you
should ask this in the openSUSE forums’ networking forum, as it really
seems that this is more a networking issue than a SUSE Studio issue.

If you report the post (click the “report” button - the triangle with the
“!” in it), you can ask for one of the staff to move it.
