Not long after RH 7 was released I did a fresh install on my computer
(not an Up grade) Everything worked well then about 2 months ago Loadlin
stopped working, that is, the boot process would hang someplace
especially when X went to startup. The screen would just flash about
every 10 seconds and finally display a message something like:
.../var/run/gdm.pid gdm already running but seems to have been murdered
mysteriously
this would be repeated again after about 20 seconds, finally the
following messaged would be displayed:
INIT:Id "x" respawnind to fast: disabled for 5 mi.
I could still boot from Lilo or from disk. Then a few weeks later I
could not boot from disk only Lilo.
Since I am still in the experimental stage with Linux I just decided to
remove and reload the whole program. Well now it won't ever boot from
disk and only 1/2 the time will it boot from Lilo.
Linux lives in it's own 2 Gb hard drive, Western Digital, and I have
run diagnostics on it all is OK. I have reviewed the Cmos settings,
nothing seems to have changed. I have checked the 128 Meg of ram ant it
is ok. Winblows works fine on the other Hard drive. What could be
going on? I'm really stuck, and new to Linux
