RHEL 5.9 going to maitenance mode
Hi.. I was installing one IBM s/w on RHEL 5.9. It got stuck and we killed the process at terminal Again we installed the s/w succesfully. But
after that I tried to change the user.
i.e., su testuser
it was giving error. Permission denied.

So I restarted the system. Now its going into maintenance mode. Please help me to bring it into run level 3 mode.
and if you can make me understand what realy bad happened.

Thanks,

So, what IBM software were you installing or have I misread this. Are you installing RHEL onto IBM hardware?

Can you give us a bit more detail please?
