(It's definitely a kernel bug that it ends up at the PROM >> prompt, but we should none the less try and keep xdm from triggering it.) OK. After trying in 2.0.35, I realised that I didn't have xfonts-base installed. So I installed those. Then, X works flawlessly under 2.0.35 (well, after a very brief test..). I switched back to 2.1.125 and the situation is now: startx as root works OK, but when you end the X-session, the kernel halts itself. xdm works OK, but if you kill xdm (/etc/init.d/xdm stop) the kernel commits suicide :-( Jules /----------------+-------------------------------+---------------------\ | Jelibean aka | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 6 Evelyn Rd | | Jules aka | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Richmond, Surrey | | Julian Bean | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TW9 2TF *UK* | +----------------+-------------------------------+---------------------+ | War doesn't demonstrate who's right... just who's left. | | When privacy is outlawed... only the outlaws have privacy. | \----------------------------------------------------------------------/
