[gentoo-user] Weird PRB: X cannot start on the first boot
If the computer boots from a cold machine, it will not start X. If I do a top command, I can see X is consuming close to 100% CPU utilization. Since I enable gdm at startup, I don't have X running at all with my keyboard locked down. I have to reset the power and then the computer will start normally. Can anyone help troubleshoot the problem? I am now connecting to the box via SSH to collect any information needed for troubleshooting. -- Peter Wu Powered by Gentoo GNU/Linux 2.6.17 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I guess Alon subscribed to the gentoo-user list as a "nomail" subscriber and read the messages via some news-mail gateway, such as GMane.
