Hi all. first post to the list... I have two questions. 1: Last night I installed the bulk of the software (found on the boot disc distribution of debian) and bascially configured XFree86. I believe I set it to load on boot, but I'm not sure if that's important. When I rebooted, from the hard disk (which is running LILO to auto load LINUX) I get this message: Loading........................................................... No setup signature found... and it just hangs. What is that? And why? When I reboot with the linux boot floppy, it all loads just fine.
2: When I try to run xdm to startup X, the screen blinks (ever so slowly) over and over and doesn't seem to load X. I can see my prompt during the blinking and I can type commands (one or two strokes at a time), so I did a ps to see what was running and I got a list of UIDs which included the ps and bash, but also had four UIDs involving /sbin/getty When I kill each of those four processes and ps again, there are four more but with higher UID (ie first they were like in the 100's then the 200's then the 300's ...). I was in a rush to get to work this morn so I didn't think to write down EXACTLY what was wrong. Any ideas?
