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, but is still active & running - did you press <RETURN> ? Doing so should make the login: prompt appear - does it ? Also pressing <ALT>+<F[1-6]> should switch to a virtual console (VC) that should display a login prompt - does it ? After X comes up in runlevel 5, you should be able to switch to a different VC by pressing <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F[1-6]> . At least, that's what happens on my FC3 machine. Actually, what appears to happen is this: in FC3 X is started up on virtual console 8, which never has getty / login process initiated for it, so when you type ' init 3', you are still left on that console. You need to press and hold the <ALT> key while pressing any of the function keys <F1> to <F7> to switch to console on which getty is run and the login: prompt is displayed. I really cannot reproduce this. Yes, when you do an 'init 3' after the system has entered init state 5 and started X, you are left in a virtual console (VC) which has no login: prompt, and you might think the system is hung. But pressing the <ALT> + any of the function keys <F1> to <F6> then gets you to a VC which does display the login: prompt. Hence, this bug is being closed as "NOT A BUG" . |
