If you need 3D, you'll need to download and use the binary driver from nvidia. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University

So this does not appear to be the problem - I am running the 3D drivers. Foo.

Quick review: when I finally got the system into init 3 state, I ran the nvidia installer, it compiled the driver on host and said everything wa fine. I have no clue what the second one means or why it would be happening. The two errors are not directl connected to each other and appear with a random number and type of message in between. mhr PS: Jim, your reputation is safe and secure, at least for me. PPS: Sorry if the thread was broken here - disparity between digest mode here and individual emails at work. I'll fix this at some point, probably after I get samba to let my Windows VM talk to my disk drives....
