I have a Pentium III 933 with 256 MB RAM and RedHat Linux 9 installed on a 2.1 HDD.
I am using Win 2K boot loader to boot into Linux. (I have Win98 and Win2k also installed on this machine)
Problem 1:
Till about 2 days back I could boot into Linux and get the KDE GUI working. To go to the text mode I pressed some key combination, which I don't know. Now the problem is as follows:
When I boot into Linux from the Win2k Boot manager, it goes thru the booting process and comes to the login prompt (text mode) after which the screen goes blank for a few seconds and comes back on again. This is repeated endlessly. In between these screen blinks, I managed to login as root and give a shutdown command, which shutdown the machine without any further screen blanking.
What could have gone wrong and how do I recover from this problem without re-installing Linux, so that I can get KDE back again.
Query 1:
How do I go to the text mode screen other than the terminal screen. What is the key combination?
Could somebody help me out please.
