Stop grub at boot up edit your boot line and add in init=/bin/bash, see if you are having the same problem from here. What you have done is started a command line shell instead of init (I find this much better than going into single user mode as nothing else is started). Then work through the /etc/rc* files starting them one by one (have a look in /etc/inittab it will tell you what is started in what order). for example on my machine ======================================== # /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration. # $Id: inittab,v 1.91 2002/01/25 13:35:21 miquels Exp $ # The default runlevel. id:2:initdefault: # Boot-time system configuration/initialization script. # This is run first except when booting in emergency (-b) mode. si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS # What to do in single-user mode. ~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin # /etc/init.d executes the S and K scripts upon change # of runlevel. # # Runlevel 0 is halt. # Runlevel 1 is single-user. # Runlevels 2-5 are multi-user. # Runlevel 6 is reboot. l0:0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0 l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1 l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2 l3:3:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 3 l4:4:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 4 l5:5:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 5 l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6 # Normally not reached, but fallthrough in case of emergency. z6:6:respawn:/sbin/sulogin ====================== so level 2 is my default level /etc/init.d/rcS - get run on boot up so start here then run through each S??* scripts in rc2.d and check after each one to make sure you cpu usage is okay Alex > Dietrich > > PS: I wrote about the same problem another email already - with the > subject: repeated input by holding down a key doesn't work when using a > USB keyboard > [snip] > > > > - -- > > Ron Johnson, Jr. > > Jefferson LA USA > > > > "Kittens give Morbo gas.
