You can try "single user mode" or "recovery mode" o something like that in the menu of your boot loader (grub, I supppose, if your machine is i386 or amd64). If even that fails, try adding init=/bin/bash at the end of the kernel commandline in the boot loader. Then the logs are in /var/log/ (if /var is mounted; if not: mount /var) If you are not familiar with the boot loader, and the way of editing the kernel commandline in the boot loader, see Linkname: GNU GRUB Manual 0.97 URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html especially "12.3 Editing a menu entry" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
