Subject: Fedora 4, can't access consoles?
Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 23:21:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000c01c59323$7dd7f2d0$6801a8c0@systemax> (raw)
Hi all,
I just did a telnet install of Fedora 4. Everything seemed to go well enough. After the instalation, the system came up to First boot. I got through first boot with sighted assistance; However, I can't access the text mode consoles. If for example, I attempt to do control+alt+f1, I get a pink box outlining the edges of my screen and nothing else, no login prompt etc. When this happens, the only Thing I can do is reboot with control alt delete. has anyone seen this before and if so, is there a workable solution?
this one's going to be fun, kind of like the chicken and the egg-- I don't see how I can troubleshoot this without any accessibility, but if I can't get to the console mode, I can't install accessibility-- grumble!
