X86 / 8.1 / XFree 86 Recently, my monitor died and the process of finding a suitable replacement led to a series of new problems. Someone at Mandrake told me that I really needed to update my 8.1 system (which had been working just fine), and the process of installing the updates royally messed everything up.
Now, when I try to boot up with Linux or Win4Lin, after the system goes through all the usual start-up processes, a shell login appears on the screen for less than second and then the screen goes black and there is nothing I can do except hit reset on the box. If I boot up with either Linux-nonfb or failsafe, the computer starts up fine and everything works fine, except I cannot start up Win4Lin. I have been trying for more than two weeks to solve this problem, without any progress. I am willing to pay a reasonable fee for a satisfactory solution, but feel that the Mandrake 8.1 updates are responsible for my problems and it irks me to have to pay for a solution that Mandrake caused. My system worked just fine before doing the Mandrake updates.
