First of all, I am not sure why you need to login as jack/jack manually. When you boot up from the LiveCD, you should be automatically logged into the desktop. If you want, you can also try using the latest *development* bits found here. Build 134 is the latest. http://www.genunix.org/ The system reboots unexpectedly seem to indicate a kernel panic, can you boot with the kernel debugger? Here are the instructions: --------------------------------------- From the GRUB item, type "e" (for edit) and then another "e" and then add "-kdv" to the end of the kernel line or before the -B options. Finally, press return to boot this entry. This will cause the kernel debugger to load Loading kmdb... Welcome to kmdb kmdb: unable to determine terminal type: assuming `vt100' Loaded modules: [ unix krtld genunix ] [0]> At the prompt, enter "moddebug/W 0x80000000", <return> and then ":c", <return> which will then print out each module as it's being loaded. --------------------------------------- When the window system comes up, you can try to do the install again. This time, the debugger should catch the crash. Please capture the screen with the crash trace somehow and send it to us? Thanks, --Karen
