Btw, the browser I am using is lynx.
Okay, now this is interesting. I have since tried it with links2 (javascript support enabled, not that that should matter), and am able to get to the admin page.
I get this notice: "One or more problems were detected with your Drupal installation. Check the status report for more information."
The status report has no more information--no notices or warnings of any kind.
So maybe this is a lynx problem? But why then would I receive cookies from other drupal installations?
Theory: 5.1 detects the browser as lynx, assumes that it can't handle cookies, and reverts to session IDs passed via URL, which is no longer supported. Is that a possibility? If so, changing lynx to fake the useragent would be a way around it, although a very inconvenient one.
