Hmmm. Did you saw any error messages?

(EDIT: Try just type the password and hit ENTER.)

Uh-oh.. looks like it could be some out-of-memory symptom.

What are you machine/system specs?  Any swap active?

what is a box login?
Posted by mikshaw on Oct. 02 2006,23:29
It's a login prompt.
"box" is the default hostname of DSL.

If you have a password set up for user dsl, enter "dsl", then it will prompt for the password.
