metal69 0 Posted July 21, 2004 Just installed Redhat 9 & all went well. Rebooted it afew times & it was fine. Now I left it running for 2 days, I turned the monitor on & it was all weird looking, with righting that wasnt English. I turned it off & left it to cool & then restarted it. Now all it does is flash on the login command pront & not in GUI. When it flashes off, the keyboard dosnt work & nothing happens. then when its on, u can type untill it goes off again. I noticed cond failed to load, what is that? So do ya know whats wrong?? Share this post Link to post
martouf 0 Posted July 21, 2004 did you by any chance install RH9 and walk away from your system for two days while leaving it connected directly to DSL or a cable modem? have you tried booting the install CD just to check the system? Share this post Link to post
metal69 0 Posted July 21, 2004 No, it was all installed & working ok. It isnt connected to anything, just basics. I had rebooted it afew times as well, before hand. Tried up[censored] the bootup via disk, but didnt do anything. Share this post Link to post
martouf 0 Posted July 21, 2004 can you boot the system from the install disc? that is, get to the very beginning of the install process.. don't actually do another install yet, just test your system by booting from the CD. Share this post Link to post
metal69 0 Posted July 23, 2004 Yeah it boots off the install disk. I tried to update the boot up part, but didnt do anything. So I re-installed it. worked fine at the start even with a reboot. But the second reboot just made it go bk to how it was before. Flash on for 2secs & off for 10secs. Keyboard dosnt work when off. I thought Linux was stable ;( Its about as stable as my grandad Share this post Link to post
Dapper Dan 0 Posted July 23, 2004 Hi metal69. I'm sure you were just joking! However, if you have any doubts, Linux is not causing your problem, it's something to do with hardware issues. Once you get that sorted out, you will have a very stable operating system. Share this post Link to post
