[rhn-users] Kernel Update Question About 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL

[Mansour, Michael]

Hi Bill,

Why do you perform the copy of the S91smb link?

Apart from the fact I see no reason why Samba would have any affect on
whether X11 starts or not, you shouldn't be touching these links but
controlling them through the chkconfig system.

Do a "man chkconfig" or read the RHEL Admin guide for information on how
you should be making changing to your startup scripts.

Regards,

Michael.

I have the same thing happening on my Dell PowerEdge where the video
goes bad when the
X11 launches.

I found that if you change:
id:5:initdefault:
to
id:3:initdefault:
in /etc/inittab, and copy /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S91smb to /etc/rc.d/rc3.d

This causes the system to come up to init state 3 instead of 5, and not
launch the X11 programs. The console gets a non-gui login. But at least
the system is stable.
