Hi guys,
just wondering if anyone can give me any ideas on this:
The system:
200 Ppro
64mb ram.
S3Virge 2MB
ReiserFS
The Problem:
System boots in vga=788 mode with Aurora perfectly.
when starting x, (after using drakconf and trying progressively lower res
and color) the system locks up tight..
monitor starts flashing "no sync signal" and CTRL-ALT-DEL, or
CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE or anything else works either..
altough the number lock and caps key lights are still working, so it doesn't
look like a total lockup..
can't switch to another terminal either..
Latest problem, after another crash, this time haing tried 640x480 bit,,,
the system is reporting this no boot (unsucessful boot I might add.
INIT: version 2.78 booting
INIT: /etc/inittab[6]: id field too long (max 4 characters)
INIT: /etc/inittab[7]: id missing action field
a heap of other stuff like that,,, then :
Enter runlevel:
no mater what I select, it tells me "INIT: no more processes left on this
runlevel"
anyone know how to fix that? I have just reinstalled this thing 3 times,
don't want to make it 4 if it can be avoided..
The daft thing was, I had KDE running perfectly, had upgraded the kernel to
2.2.19 and did all my usual config stuff..
Then I tried to load aurora, got that working, then X disappeared, and now
it appears that I have had a data coruption as well.
This is not going well at all...
any help, suggestions, general cursing,, anything at all is most welcome..
regards
Frank
