Hi, I tried to use the "single-user-mode" but I had problem. Typing "e" from the interactive menu (to choose the OS) I get the message: *[0.000000] tsc: FAST TSC CALIBRATION FAILED.*
In the following line I got the prompt, but was not able to type anything there (on the screen). Can be that the actual installation is not good.. ? (also I am not able to login as root ... the message that I get is "login incorrect"). What do you think that I can do?
