Kdm problem at boot

Thu Aug 15 15:02:13 BST 2002

Okay so I dinked with it and I get what I deserve... 

With that in mind here's what happened

I installed the Linux Progress Patch, and life was fine. I decided to try 
different boot screens. Loaded one and went to compile it into the kernel 
when the compile choked. Looked into it and the contributed lpp images didn't 
work with the newer kernel layout. Found copies of the original files before 
the change and put them back in. Recompiled kernel with no trouble. Now kdm 
fails at boot time. I can start it normally as root after boot.

Any help is appreciated, Here's the syslog with full debug on kdm:
