X terminating suddenly without warning

[Chris]

Hi Jim,

I tried that and the results are not good. I can no longer log into the 
system and X isn't starting up at all. After it boots, it presents the 
character login but the keyboard is dead. I got it to boot the previous 
kernel (logged in using single user mode, fixed grub.conf) again the 
the same results (not being able to log in).

Probably have to force install the current kernel. It looks like the 
machine crashes as it's not pinging either ...

Best regards,
Chris
