Re: text console not available?



Press Alt+Ctrl + F key.


2008/7/25 Ryan Golhar <golharam@xxxxxxxxx>:
I'm running RHEL 5 on a Dell GX270 Optiplex. I get the graphical login
console, however if I switch to a text console using Ctrl+F1 or Ctrl+F2,
etc, I only see a cursor and no log in.

If I hit enter, the cursor moves a few lines down but the login prompt never
displays, the cursor is not in the leftmost position, so it looks like the
login prompt is black on black.

This is a clean install, so I'm not sure what is going on. Has anyone else
seen this?

Ryan
