It must be a year or so now with all different kernels. On boot up kdm fires up, but within 5 seconds or so and while the use is busy entering their passwd on the kdm screen, it suddenly returns to the console. Alt+F7 brings them back to their kdm, but this behaviour is clearly wrong. I suspect that this is caused by dhcpcd getting an IP address, or vixie cron (the last two things shown on the console when the user gets dumped back on it) but I can't understand why these two services will cause such a problem on this machine, when other machines with the same services work fine.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this one? I can't see anything amiss on dmesg, or messages/syslog. -- Regards, Mick
