Though I doubt it's culpable, it's easy enough to verify. This assumes that you've eliminated software. I once had a problem with a Redhat install... The startup files were configured to boot into run level 5, ie GUI login, but the video driver or refresh rate was incorrectly set. At bootup, the monitor would go blank and the keyboard lights would flash. The system was running, but I could only interact with a blank screen. Since I'd configured the machine to reject all non-local connections, I couldn't even log on remotely and change stuff that way. I eventually just wiped the disk and reinstalled and the machine's worked flawlessly ever since. This doesn't exactly match the problem you originally described, but I mention it because it wasn't the hardware, but my configuration error when I changed the video card. If you've recently changed some hardware, it could be a configuration issue. -- -mike.h _________________ mike.h@acm.org mike.h@stemik.com __________________________________________ Democracy is the worst form of government; except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. -Winston Churchill __________________________________________ GnuPG public key: //http://www.stemik.com/~mike.h/mike.h.asc Attachment:
