Just to confirm, your system boots into a terminal by default, you rebooted your computer and all text was displayed at the terminal including the login prompt? How about if you boot into single-user mode? (you should be able to do this by entering "linux single" (without the quotation marks) at the lilo prompt). Regards, Adam
