But the console message just stays like that and yet the machine completely boots up and we can log into it remotely in a terminal window. We just cannot get a console screen. We've tried putting the vnc on different ports 5901,5902,5903,etc. But it doesn't help. Again, what can we do to fix these problems? Thanks. Regards, Gerry
