I fired up X but it took 18 yes 18 mins for the Xterm to come up but the
cursor did not flash at all. Finally after waiting for the cursor for
another 15 mins, I had to use the reset switch.
On rebooting, Fsck always gives the following msg:
Deleted inode 21614 has zero dtime: FIXED.
I ran top from the CLI but honestly it makes no sense b'cos it shows unused
memory and swap. I tried to generate a text file from top using top >
/tmp/topmesg 2>&1 and I have attached the file below. (btw, is there a
better way
of doing this ?)
Also XF86Setup dumped core, thogh it's the only program tat set up my
Xserver.: gdb gives the following.
Core generated by XF86Setup.
program terminated with siganl 11, Segmentation fault.
#0 0x400e0056 in ?? ().
any help ?? please....
