I tried turning the swap partition off and also using an external IDE drive for the swap partition. In both cases I get the same result as before, X is launched but when the screen goes blank it never recovers or gives me any graphics output. Any other suggestions?

Maybe try mounting DOC for the filesystem and keep an IDE for swap. Maybe look at /proc/swaps on the two boots and see if they tell you anything. -- Charles ______________________________________________________ Linux MTD discussion mailing list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mtd/
