Hi all: My "vacation" project was to reload the 80Gig disk that came with my Thinkpad T43 with the latest version of current... (I had previously .. when my laptop arrived.. moved the old disk into the T43).. so to gain 20Gig.. I thought I would upgrade to the latest.. I loaded a 6.2 RC.. then transfered all things in.. did the ole buildworld/install new kernel thing.. All fine.. Then I went and made all the wonderful packages I use.. including the latest gnome2... So.. everything is up and running (for the past couple of days).. all is fine.. or .. not :-0 I just decided to rebuild and reload my latest kernel changes I am working on for SCTP.. and for the first time I did the logout button. Bam.. black-screen.. and reboot. So.. curious as I could be.. I tried several times in vain to get to the non-x windows.. each time I tried the logout button.. bam.. reboot before I could ctl-alt-f1 Finally I had an idea.. log in as root on screen f1.. and then do a kill -9 on a process.. So.. I kill gconfd-2 And bam.. reset without entering DDB?? Any suggestions on how I can get some valuable info would be most welcome... the video chip is a RADEON one .. or so the X stuff says... I am up and working.. as long as I don't try to logoff my X session.. :-0 R -- Randall Stewart NSSTG - Cisco Systems Inc. 803-345-0369 <or> 803-317-4952 (cell)
