Thank You, Jurij, entering Linux init=/bin/sh on boot prompt done the thing. I got single user mode and renamed /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm to /etc/rc2.d/s30gdm But trying 'silo -u -f' somehow damaged loader, and after reboot I got error in OBP boot prompt. I boot from installation CD in rescue mode and fixed SILO. After this I could successfully boot Lenny without desktop and begin to work with it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
