tty login loop

[Adel Ahmed]

during one of my kernel compilations, i can no longer login to my system.
I get the tty login, type in the username and password and i get no error(or maybe the error was too quick) and am returned to the tty login screen again.

here's my current kernel configuration:

unfortunately I cannot seem to trace what option caused this, nor do i have any backups unfortunately.

thanks

You may try accessing logs (including dmesg, for example) by booting a live CD or live USB.

i still have the old kernel(not the config though)
and i found nothing in the logs.

Login with old kernel works?

You might be able to grab the config from /proc/config.gz if you enabled that option in kernel?

unforunately i didnt enable that option.

but I found a backup by chance.

thanks everyeone once i figure out what did this i will post it here
