Hi, > When I > do a ctl-alt-f1 to get to console mode I see a series of Messages saying > "audio_alsa: no cards found". This is followed by the message "Esound > failed to start". This is apparently enough to cause gnome not to start. > I know sound is detected because I see startup sound messages when I > start the system. (sound card snd_ens1371). Check you have something like this in modprobe.conf alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss install snd-ens1371 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ens1371 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 ||: remove snd-ens1371 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; If you have sound-card, change it to snd-card as well. Give it a whirl and see what happens. TTFN Paul -- "Your lives are in the hands of men no smarter than you or I, many of them incompetent boobs.
