What boot loader are you using ( Lilo, Grub, etc)? If you're using lilo, you should be able to get a prompt/menu by holding down the shift key just after the initial system POST. At this point you should be able to enter something like "linux 1" or "linux single". This should take you into single user mode and not attempt a starting of X. > Sixth, Has any one swapped out a hard drive, and had this same > problem, if you have could you please let me know how or what you did > to get it to work...??? I've swapped my boot drives between systems before, but never had this problem. In my experience, if the X config was wrong, it would flash the screen between a console and an attempted X startup a few times and then abort the attempted X startups and leave me at a functional console.
