Installed Mandrake 9.1 two nights ago, and all was great. This morning, during boot, half-way though it stopped and went to a black screen and said:

Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Bamboo) for i586
Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk on an i686/tty1
it then lists my ip address and asks me to login, and then prompts for a password.
It hasn't done this on the previous boots. I hit the disconnect button on my modem and booted again. Same thing but this time it said "local host login" instead of ip login.

Help please
