I had the same problem when I installed on my K200. What I ended up |
| 97 |
doing was fighting with the console to get the root password changed and |
| 98 |
sshd started. Once I had that (took on average over 20 minutes of |
| 99 |
messing around), I just ssh'd in and did the install remotely. I never |
| 100 |
could figure out why the login prompt keept appearing. I did notice a |
| 101 |
pattern on when the login prompt appeared, and I just had to time my |
| 102 |
passwd command to work between the login prompt cycles. You have to |
| 103 |
trust the keyboard, and not the console ;-) |
