I have no idea. Because the graphical bootup screen was used, I have no idea what was actually happening. I saw the progress indicator stopped, my cd drive stopped, there was no activity on my harddisk and all leds started blinking, a typical sign to indicate a kernel panic. I tried to reproduce it later on, but luckily I was not able to do so. It boots up the system, and instead of showing the gdm login screen, it shows a blue screen "Failed to start the X server....." and then a command line login prompt. > Did you try to boot using the "safe graphics" boot option? > I did, but the results are all the same. -- Stijn "Slike" Verslycken [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:[email protected] You can find list info and your subscription configuration options at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
