before i modified it it had vga=790 swiched in

I don't think the vga=normal setting caused the problem
Maybe try to run lilo again ? as lilo -v -M

dasy2k1 · 12-02-2005, 03:35 PM

tried -v -M but it just gavce me teh usage guide and -M wasnet there
this is with just -v

Code:

i will set it back to how it was and reboot to see if it worked

dasy2k1 · 12-02-2005, 05:16 PM

nope still the same problem

keefaz · 12-03-2005, 04:35 AM

try: /sbin/lilo -v -M /dev/hda

If it fails, maybe try /sbin/lilo -u then /sbin/lilo -v -M /dev/hda

can you take a look at the end of /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old ?
might be messages of xorg not shutting down properly
