boot failure

[Norberto Quintanar]

Yes, you assume correctly on where to type in single.  I don't know
what's going on with your situation, if it's forcing you to go to
runlevel 5.  Have you tried typing rescue or emergency?  If you can
get to a command prompt using one of those two methods then change
your /etc/inittab file to run level 3.  When you open the file edit
the line that reads 

id:5:initdefault:

 
change the 5 to a 3 save close and reboot.  Then try the fix I gave
you earlier to configure X.

YMMV

I assume when you say at the BootX prompt you are refering to the box
on the lower left that says Kernel exceptions or something of that
sort. When I typed single in there the system reboots into user mode
3 initally but as I was reading the lines of script during start up
about halfway through I see another line that says
rebooting/resetting to user mode 5 and then eventually we are back to
the same point again. Have you had any experience with mklinux boot
loader it seems to have more options for exceptions and revisions
using lilo? Thanks
