It just happens that anacron is the last thing to do in runlevel 3. You may be left in a terminal that does not display a login: prompt - did you press <RETURN> ? Doing so should make the login: prompt appear. Pressing <ALT>+<F[1-6]> switches to a virtual console (VC) that does display one. After X comes up in runlevel 5, you can switch to a different VC by pressing <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F[1-6]> . At least, that's what happens on FC2 and rawhide - I cannot duplicate any "hang". If you still have a problem, reopen this bug and attach your /var/log/messages file to it. |

Located within KDE as normal user & doing 'telinit 3' as sudo root I can see the runlevel switch seems to be OK at the beginning... 1.)all services from runlevel5 are stopped. 2.)the start-up sequence of the services for runlevel3 seems to be successful upto the startup of anacron... at this point I can see the message telling me anacron is starting: I wait some time, but it does not complete; the OS loading seems to be stopping there. ...so I reboot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anacron-2.3.-29 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.telinit 3 from runlevel 5 & <wait the process to complete Actual Results: script running sequence while entering runlevel 3 (and thus OS loading) seems to me to be stopping here; anacron seems to hang Additional info:
