Given the circumstances you describe, and assuming it's on a network, I'd try to ssh in, and see if the computer's crashed, or if it's "just" the console. If it is, indeed, the console, I'd go and disable gpm ("/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm stop;chkconfig gpm off"), and see if it still happens. I've had problems, on and off, with gpm on any number of notebooks, and, unless you spend a lot of time in text console mode, you really don't need it (it cuts-and-pastes for console mode). Also, you might log in and check your /var/log/messages, and see what was happening right before your boot, and whether or not any of it might be pertinent. $.02 -Ken ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
