Hi Kevin and Andreas, Thanks for your advice.
X-server starts now. But following problems still remain 1) Mouse - optical mouse Selecting /dev/input/mice, X-server can't start Selecting /dev/psaux, X-server starts but mouse dies. Toggling between 'init3' and 'init5' impossible. Had to force-reset the PC Now I am using a PS/2 mouse instead with /dev/psaux setting 2) Cdwriter. # ls -l /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrom -> hda # df showing / = /dev/hdc2 # ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom1 # ls -l /dev/cdrom1 total 0 Edit /etc/fstab can't mount /dev/cdwriter I am not sure whether cdrom1 has been symbolic linked to /dev/hdb. If YES how to remove it to try /dev/hdd etc. 3) # shutdown -h now is not power down. Kindly advise how to fix these problems. Thanks in advance. B.R.
