It never finished booting. I was able to log in
only once. There Iused vi to edit the lilo.conf file.
I used ctrl-r to refresh the screen when the
modprobes fell like rain. I must not have done
something correctly. The kernel does not load all the
way. I need a way to unload all the modules before
booting or going into single user, from a rescue
cd-rom or boot disk.
