Hello, still not a very detailed description. In the case you described I recommend a user to first install OI to disc in text mode or vesa mode and to then nail down what actually happens.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/adm/messages would be the first places to look. Non-HDD case (and generally) : As for how to get hold of these in case of a "non-booting" (sigh, what? why? until which pint?) CD/DVD or USB you already named the most fitting possibilibiets: > (using a > live-CD, copying some file to a fat-formatted USB key or > through the network, etc.) As I suggest every time here on this very list: Boot to single user, start sshd manually, check which ip address gets assigned. Then ^d and continue the boot. After impact (or also before) you can ssh into jack:jack@your-ip and watch what happened. Good luck and I'm back not before 2am next month ;) best regards, %martin bochnig >> Why? Where? When? How?
