Hi guys I have an IBM thinkpad with a dual boot Windows Xp and RH Linux 8.0. The boot manager is GRUB When i switch from XP to Linux, the first time, it brings up a grey screen after starting up all the daemons. It displays the console login screen, and while entering the KDE GUI login screen, it freezes..When I hard boot it again, it will startup fine. Any clues? thanks nachiket __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
