today my Oracle Linux Server 7.3 (installed on a Proxmox VM) just shows a gray window, where normaly the login prompt would be. The gray background is the regular "noisy" Oracle Server 7 wallpaper. I tried using ctrl+alt+FX ... after some seconds the whole server reboots.
Pinging the machine does not work. Can't connect to the oracle server either.
Has anyone an idea what could be wrong?!
Edit: I managed to start a single user shell but have no idea where to start honestly.
From the single user shell you could force a trace execution of the suspected "S" malfunctioning script under /etc/rc.d/rc.d* , i.e.
ls /etc/rc.d/rc*.d/S*
, just to have a hint where things start to go wrong
This can be accomplished by changing, provisionaly, the following in the first line of the script
#!/bin/sh
to become
#!/bin/sh -x
