can't login after install

Hi all

I installed Slitaz on my Mom's old pc, but the installation keeps giving me an error saying that the password did not change.  If I try to boot into the HD, I can never login nor can I start X.   Any thoughts please?

Thanx

Re: can't login after install

You should include the following things:

    detailed information about your hardware

        e.g the manufacturer and model of your computer, motherboard or (even better) detailed chip information. The latter can be found by running the following command and uploading the generated SysInfo.txt file:

[c]echo '=== PCI Devices: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lspci >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== USB Devices: ===' \

>> SysInfo.txt && lsusb >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== Kernel Modules: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lsmod >> SysInfo.txt[/c]

    precise information about your SliTaz installation:

        which version to you have? Stable or Cooking?

        are you using the standard ISO or a specific flavor (XVESA, Lo-RAM etc.)?

        is it installed on a HD or on an USB stick?

        do you know which file-system you used?

    identify when your problem appeared:

        was it just after installation or after an update?

        were there any changes to your normal usage pattern or configuration?

This should provide enough system information for help to be provided.
