Hi Gregory, Funny you should mention that. I just had that happen to me on RH8 DVD install. What I did was ctl-alt-F1 while it was in the middle of starting up X. It told me the same info you posted. My fix? I rebooted the damn thing and all was well after. Go Figure! Phil -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
