Hi all
Solved my problem. My disk was full + I had an error in an .initrc file.
It took me a while to realise that root could run X but not me and that
led me to the solution. The bit about X complaing it could not locate
the radeon driver led me astray for a full day !

other things?
I can attach the X logs and my config file in case its an X prob but I
presume that the problem is that the radeon driver can't be loaded.

I am a bit confused. I wanted to rsync down a 2.6 kernel with PPC

Hi all,
This is a followup to tell you what I did. Thanks all for the
suggestions on how to recover. In the end I just had to reinstall Debian.

I know you had it working before and this is not really an answer but it
may get you there nonetheless.
