hi all
I have recently installed debian 2 on my PC and after a bit of
tribulation and hours FTPing I got it working :)
I was playing around in Xwindows and there was an option on
the menu for XF86 config and I thought I'd click on it and
see what'd happen. There was a lot of disk activity and Xsysinfo showed a
very busy kernel, at times up to 100%, for a while. However nothing else
visible happened.
the next time I switched the puter on everything works fine
until login time. Xwindows starts, but I don't get a login window and
nothing happens apart from that grey screen.
I usually boot up using Loadlin from my CD. Are there
any option that will let me bypass the automatic xwindow load or any way I can
get to a normal shell and log in? Also, would anyone have any idea of what
happened and how I can sort it out?
TIA
