My system recently was shut down because of a power outage. Now whenever I try and boot into redhat 9 (grub bootloader), everything is ok until the desktop boots and then everything freezes. I have win2k on the other partition and it is working just fine. During the boot process all devices are recognized and I get the log on screen and login but as soon as the devices screen is finished the desktop freezes up. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this? Thanks

change your runlevel to 3 and load to console only cat /root/.deadletter see what it says as far as errors then cd /var/log cat your various logs and see what they say they should tell you what is wrong

I logged in under runlevel 3, but the same situation still exists as far as the desktop freezing up, whenever I did a startx. I checked under var/log messages and what was mentioned was something about the fb0-7 modules not being located. Apparently the fb modules have something to do with the XFree86 Project. So I went and checked the XFree86 logs; and it looks like the module for my monitor(if I'm reading this correctly) is not being loaded. It says the [drm] failed to load kernel module " name". My question then is: Is the module for the monitor not being loaded because the XFree86 modules (fb) aren't being located, or are the fb modules not being located because the module for the monitor is failing to load? Thanks
