Ok, looks like we need to take things step by step...
Right, so far, you have
- xfs reinstalled with rpm --force, right?
- After that, /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs no longer exists, you say. You can
easily check by going into that directory (/etc/rc.d/init.d/) and
listing the contents and see whether xfs is there or not.
To verify if xfs is/was installed properly:
Run "rpm -qil XFree86-xfs". What does that give you? If you get a "not
installed", that means that something went wrong during the reinstall of
that package. That would definitely explain the missing file in init.d
and the missing option in ntsysv. In that case, try an ordinary install
of the package:
rpm -ihv XFree-xfs-XXXXXXXX.i386.rpm
If this succeeds check again for xfs in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ - it should be
there now.
If it is, run ntsysv again and make sure it's checked, then run
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs start" again and try X again. If it isn't,
frankly, I have to pass.
If the "rpm -ihv" failed, please forward the error messages to the list.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
Cheerio,
Thomas
