Have you been playing with /etc/X11/XF86Config (XF86Config-4 or xorg.conf depending on release level )?Just recently I tried to reboot my machine at home: a Mandrake 10.0 box running a 2.4 kernel (so my Ihug Ultra thingie will work.)
First of all I got problems with the hard disk partitions not being recognised.
So I then changed my fstab to point at /dev/ide/target0.... instead of /dev/hdb5 kind of thing. This seemed to fix my hard disc problem... however now I'm getting a sequence of:
INIT: Id "X" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
where X is a number between 1 and 6
The sequence ends with : INIT: no more processes in this runlevel
then hangs.
I have looked at Google and found that there may be some corruption of my inittab or something like that.
I have booted with Knoppix and checked the filesystems and they seem ok.
What I wanted to ask was is there any problems that anybody has heard of with k3b running with an old (2.4) kernel?
The reason I'm asking is that the problem appeared to be just after I tried to kill K3B. X went haywire and the screen went blank then dropped me out to a tty.
Any help appreciated.

Are you moving back to a 2.4 kernel from 2.6, and are using SATA disks...? if so, they'll change name from hd.. to sd.. - the simplest way to get round that is to label them all, use those labels in /etc/fstab, and then define the device name in grub.conf/lilo.conf depending on kernel.
The other thing is that all of your module support tools have changed between 2.4 and 2.6. I have had little success in reverting once upgrading them. Maybe building in the core support you need, rather than using modules is a way forward??
