Don't know where to go from here, can anyone > suggest ? Can you flip to a console in F14 and login? Ctrl-Alt-F2 through F6. If you can login as root on a console, can you look at /var/log/messages for any errors during boot, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any errors from X regarding your attempted login? Ctrl-Alt-F1 gets you back to the gui/X. As far as not being able to boot vista, how did you deal with installing grub? Did you install it on the MBR of the vista disk? I think you need to change your /boot/grub/grub.conf to chainload vista from the grub menu. I don't do that, so maybe someone else here can help you. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
