If Redhat has not changed anything /etc/inittab is what starts X. look around the bottom of that file for what command init is running when it tries to start X, and paste it here. > Now the machine does'nt go the graphics mode, after > booting the screen will b flickering and am unable to > login. If you wait long enough init should stop trying to start up X and you will be able to log in to the console. After trying to start a service a certain number of times in a short time, init will stop trying for 5 mins... that is your window of opportunity to log in. > I am able to go to single user mode and sucessfully > run init 3. > But there seems to be a problem with init 5.

It is good to know X is still configured correctly, but I'll need to see some more information to know why init isn't starting X. --=20 GPG key: http://simons-clan.com/~msimons/gpg/msimons.asc Fingerprint: 524D A726 77CB 62C9 4D56 8109 E10C 249F B7FA ACBE --rqzD5py0kzyFAOWN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+6KN14Qwkn7f6rL4RAqI+AKCgaCt8B7GdQAmVDLT5L35HRGwmQACgoQ4a quG+k4tCpsv9c37tgf9naVM= =RhBn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rqzD5py0kzyFAOWN-- _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
