the system is locking up at the XFree86 login screen. This problem started after I had the machine working and could log in. I had mounted /mnt/gentoo/boot to look at my grub.conf file I then restarted the computer for some reason without doing umount /mnt/gentoo/boot.

Sine then I have repeated everrything in the installation guide after the emerge system. I made a new menuconfig and everting had gone allright up to now. I find that I am still left with the same problem as before. What could cause the system to lock up atthe XFree86 login screen?

AAHHHHHHH!

Scott

P.S. SO CLOSE TO GOING BACK TO WINDOWS XP AND 2K
