I moved a hardisk from my computer at home to another one to try and see how the system runs on a stronger coputer. My home machine is a 486 with a trident 8900d video board The first computer i tried it on was a pentium using a cirus logicvideo board. The system went up fine untill saying : loading xdm. Then the screen started to flicker and the monitor started going in and out of sleep mode. I tried to switch video boards o a trident 9000b be but the problem remained, and when i got home i had to reinstall the kernel and drivers for it to work. I then tried it on another computer apentium also running with a cirus logic video board, Once it got to the point where it said Loading xdm, i got tht same responce, ie. the screen disapeared and stared flickering (the monitor didn't switch in and out of sleeping mode but i don't think this one has the option). Each time this happens the system also got locked up and it wouldn't accept even "blind" commands (couldn't see what i was doing). I tried to log in from the custom boot disk to fix the problem but the system still tried to go into xdm and locked up. I also tried to reinstall kernel and images but it didn't solve the problem. I don't know if there is a way to stop xdm from starting before it starts without going into the system (ie. boot prompt or hot keys). Thenx
