I'm having a major problem right now...
I recompiled my kernel to enable some different filesystems and now
whenever I boot xdm starts up but my monitor doesn't show anything. It
just sits there sounding like someone keeps pushing the degauss button.
I'm not sure where the problem is, but I can tell you what I did:
1. changed the option for native language support from m(odule) to
y(es).
2. commented out all modules in /etc/modules and placed "auto" in the
file (enable kerneld).
3. recompiled the kernel with: make dep; make clean; make modules; make
modules_install; make zlilo
4. rebooted.
I tried to reboot from a repair floppy, but it still loads all the rc.x
stuff and the same thing happens. I think if I could reboot without firing
the rc.x scripts, I could fix the problem.
My questions are:
1. How can I reboot without running the rc.x scripts.
2. Is this problem with my trying to use kerneld without fully
understanding it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Erik
