>I experienced same issue recently after updating a FC5 system >and later found out it was due to xfs not running. Thanks this was a good clue. (The messages output by X could be better.) When I boot to runlevel 3 and then do init 5, X comes up fine. If I have 5 in the grub boot parameter, it seems that X starts too early and hangs. All I see is the X cursor and black screen, no arrow cursor. Strange. Hitting Ctl-Alt-Backspace after waiting a while produces error messages along the lines that the filesystems are mounted readonly. It appears that X started before udev was even done. Are we starting X too early when booting to runlevel 5? -Steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
