i had the same problem. i had the suggestion to put an ampersand (&) at the end of the line that loads xfs. This makes xfs load in the background and thus no longer a problem. The location of this script is something along the lines of '/etc/rc.6/' then look for xfs. >From: "Greg Kennedy" <hornpipe2@hotmail.com> >Reply-To: newbie@XFree86.Org >To: newbie@XFree86.Org >Subject: xfs hangs on boot >Date: Sun, 15 Sep 2002 12:45:03 -0500 > >Hey everyone. >I downloaded Debian 2.2r7 and installed it.
