I am new to Linux. I installed Linux recenctly. Everything was
fine until I recompiled the kernel. After installing the compiled
kernel, I booted my machine. The machine booted successfuly and
login-prompt came up. When I tried to login, it gave the message:
"Unable to change tty '/dev/tty1' for user 'xxx'"
The login promot came up again. If I try to login second time,
It gives me the message:
"No utmp entry. You must exec 'login' from the lowest
level 'sh' ".
It happens no matter I tried to login from any available console,
and no matter I tried to login as root or any other id.
If I boot with my floppy drive which has old Image, everything
will be fine.
Could someone on the net tells me what is wrong with my set-up
or configuration?
Thanks a lot.
