About 70% of the time, the console display freezes at the boot menu. The system still boots and I can ssh into the box and it will still serve web pages. I assume it is a problem with my hardware. I have tried an ubuntu live cd and it behaves similarly. Does anyone have any ideas? My problem now is I changed my sshd port to port 80 (please don't make fun of me) , but I forgot to shutdown lighttpd and so now I cannot ssh into the box. I appreciate any help you can give me. Jim
