I had similar troubles on my laptop. Things you might try: * Disable rhgb (on the grub screen, hit "a" and remove "rhgb" from the kernel options). If this works, edit /etc/grub.conf when your system boots up to permanently disable rhgb. * Boot into single-user mode and bypass "firstboot" entirely (on the grub screen, hit "a" and add "single" to the kernel options). If that sonves your problem, you could just remove firstboot (rpm -e firstboot) and use system-config-display and system-config-soundcard to set up video and sound. Then, use useradd to add a user account for you to work with on a daily basis. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry instructor / Mad scientist / Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
