Cannot login as "root" in console / network down

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Cannot login as "root" in console / network down (checked from "single user" mode)

  • When trying to log in as root, after typing login "root" and "password" it is just hanging and after about 2 minutes it asks for login again without any error

  • While booting we can see error: "Device eth0 does not seem to be presented, delaying initialization", but the "root" user is local

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • Mellanox Ethernet Card
