I had the same problem thought it was me being a Linux newbie and went back to Redhat 6.1 but if PC Answers cocked up they should replace the CD-ROMS

I just installed Mandrake 6.1 off the latest PC Answers coverdisk. All went well, couldn't tell the difference between that and RH6.0's installer (apart from the total lack of X server setup, expect you're meant to do that after you have a working console).
When I get to the standard logon prompt I input root and enter as usual but it doesn't give me a password prompt just another logon prompt, hence I can't get into the system. This is also the case with a normal user and when I try booting from a floppy instead of the hdd (lilo is on the mbr). I can get into a bash prompt by using lilo single but that still gets me nowhere, I tried changing the root password and running lilo again from there.
Any ideas? Could the good folks at PC Answers have slipped us a lemon I wonder?
Cheers, BJ
