SuSE 8.2 - Boot help
I've been having a problem with my mouse... as soon as I boot, I go to X-windows (more correctly, it goes into runlevel 5), and my mouse gets disabled. Unfortunately, so does my keyboard. :(
So how do I change the runlevel at boot? I just need to boot into a console (init 3). Can anyone help me out? |
highlight 'linux' if it isn't already, then type linux 2 in the box.
|
?... where am I supposed to do this?:Pengy:

...when GRUB (the boot loader) comes up with the blue and white choice screen with the 8 second countdown. Hit a key to stop this, and type in the box at the bottom of the screen.

Hmm... I don't see a box where I can type anything in.
I'm using GRUB 0.93. It says to press 'e' to edit the commands before booting, and 'c' for a command line. I tried the command line, and put in both 'linux' and 'linux 2' (no quotes), it doesn't recognize either. Hitting e brings up a screen with 2 lines, neither of which I understand (things like dma=no (may not have actually said no, but stuff like that), something about the kernel...). I don't want to edit these without knowing what I'm doing, for fear of messing up my system. |
can anyone help?...
or can anyone tell me how to do an interactive boot? or a rescue disk I can use to fix my config file? |
anyone?
or if you know a linux distro I can put on a disk and use to edit my config files... |
Or a kernel argument...?
Just some way to stop X from starting... Please can someone help?:( EDIT: Yay! I fixed it! I edited the boot commands in GRUB, and added 'init 3'... Thanks for your help anyways :) <wanders off to toy with linux> |
Look if ALL connectors (backside) are connected right (sound in/out as well !! )
