Hi All, I use a triple boot PC (Win 98/RH7.3/MDK 9.1) at home. The specs are Intel Celeron 900 MHZ, 128 MB RAM Intel 815 M/B (16 MB Shared RAM), Samsung 15" Monitor (56V). I was trying to upgrade KDE in RH7.3 with PCQ July issue CD to KDE 3.1.1. I copied the all the rpm's to a directory and started installing them as per directions in the mag. rpm -Uvh qt-*.rpm --nodeps --force rpm -Uvh arts-*.rpm --nodeps --force rpm -Uvh quanta*.rpm --nodeps --force rpm --kde-*.rpm --nodeps --force
During all the above except for the last (kde*.rpm) there was indication that installation was going on. During installation of KDE rpms some error message came and I did not note it down. Since errors came I tried uninstalling them in the reverse order rpm -e quanta, then arts , then qt. But error message was that those packages were not installed. After working for some more time, I shut down the PC. Today morning I booted into Redhat, but the monitor was blinking madly. After about two minutes, error message was "INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 minutes" I waited. It started blinking again. I rebooted into mandrake. There GUI login was there . No problem. Booting into windows also was normal. So hardware problems, graphics card driver corruption are ruled out.(I think) I checked up XF86Config-4 file, no changes have taken place. Again booting into redhat gave one more error message in addition to the earlier one "gpm:oops( ) invoked from gpm.c(164)" What can be done to remedy the situation?
