problem loading XWindows, kernel error

LazyBones · 09-16-2005, 09:18 PM

I got Suse 9.3 setup, installed, and configured. I must've messed something up cuz now I can't get into XWindows. After booting, XWindows is started w/ a gray screen. It gives me a login prompt, but does nothing. I see a terminal window with the following error, "linux kernel: ACPI -0484 getting cpu index for acpiid 0x1 I/O error, dev fd0, sec 0" well, that's mostly what it said. I'm guessing it's trying to boot off the floppy, but my floppy disk isn't working. Can anyone please help?

go to the prompt
run yast

/etc/sysconfig editor
change ur desktop manager to gdm or kdm
