Re: System only boots to read-only

Mark,

I first tried

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.64.run  which was running fine on the computer
without problems.

I then ran  VIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.60.run.   This is the version that I am
currently using on the "problem" computer.

Along the way with many attempts, I received error messages such as

NVIDIA kernel module ha version 256.44 but the NVIDIA driver componet has
version 304.64

Another error message with another attempt to get the display working  --
ABI versions are not in agreement.

The current directory /usr/lib64/xorg/modules contains

I kept the old link for libwfb.so as libwfb.old.so in case I had to
backtrack.
