I've been a Gnome user for some time (Mandrake 7.1 with original kernel, x 3.3.6) so decided to take a look at the new KDE 2.0.1-stable. In order to install the rpm's with no dependency issues I had to upgrade pam, install arts, etc. Since there were significant changes I decided to (aagghh) reboot. Now I don't even get to a grub boot menu - endless stage1 strings - strung together. Am I correct in thinking that pam could be the culprit? I can't imagine any kde libs or arts doing something like this to grub. On the Gnome side, I've been running Ximian, Evo & Nautilus - and that's basically all of the 'cutting edge' testing I'm doing at this time, tho most of my libs have been upgraded to 7.2 stable - no cooker, I'm still with glibc_2.1. Since I've got a dual boot with Win98, I hosed the mbr & booted to Win for now. Does any of this rambling give a clue to anyone as to what's going on?
