RE: can't start ethernet

that's what I expected as well, but I wasn't aware this machine had IR. Anyway,
I suspected the card might be bad, so I swapped it for another, and it came up
just fine.

However, now I can't start an x session. I log in, and type startx, but get
dumped back to a prompt.

If I log in as root, I can start x no problem. Where do I need to look to fix
this?

irlan0 is, i think, your infrared port. Did you enable it in your kernel?
Did work previously? Perhaps you can recompile without it?
