When the system starting contineously press Stop-A key, Then it will ask for username and passwd, so that you can able to login.

Sounds like you might have a disk problem.

Check that all the disk cables are connected tightly. Check that power is on to external disks.

Before system boots, press Stop-A and then at ok> prompt type "bbot -s" for single user mode. When it boots, log in and check that there is enough disk space.

Hope this helps

Try init 6 instead of shutdown -y if you just want to reboot and don't really need to power off. I also use shutdown -i0 -g0 -y when I want to power off. (shutdown -i6 -g0 -y should also reboot the computer immediately).

If you are getting a textprompt it might be asking you to give the root password for system maintenance. Enter the password and type fsck -y to correct disk errors manually.

Hope this helps.
