Red Hat Booting problem
I got a problem on my red hat linux 9 box.
on boot, after the services have all been loaded, i should be able to see the X window then logon to it. but the problem is my screen keeps on changing, sometimes a terminal will be seen, then after 2 seconds its gone again, and turns black screen.... Please help... Thanks! |
I think u have a prob. with ur X configuration.
You have to change ur run level to 3(by editing /etc/inittab file ) then when u boot up in runlevel 3 which is a Command line interface mode, you can reconfigure ur Xconfiguration #redhat-config-xfree86 |
how exactly can i do that???
i need a step by step instruction...thanks.... how do i change run level to 3? how can edit the /etc/inittab file if i cant boot? sorry man...im really a newbie on this ... thanks>! |
ok. At present what is the final screen u get? a terminal or a black screen?
|
If you boot from grub then when you start your computer and have you RedHat listed, press 'e' for edit. Then go down to the line that says: kernel /vmlinuz- blahblah and press 'e' again.
than type at the end of the line 'init 3', press enter and press 'b' for boot It should boot in level 3 Then edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config file or like pippet said run redhat-config-xfree86 |
both, it switches from blank screen to a terminal very fast.
i can't stop the switching... |
did that work?
