FATAL IO error 104

Typed i810 at the boot prompt and got the same error when I ran startx. It says it is using X(vesa).

Bob

Shortly after boot is initiated the screen is paused and there is a message that an undefined node number has been passed and gives two options.

I'm running ubuntu 6.06

Here is my xorg.conf

Thanks for your help. Will you let me know when it has been added?

Thanks again.
Bob

i am currently umploading the iso, which is 0.8.5.
See the main page about that : http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=313

I downloaded 0.8.5.1, I'm sorry to say I got the same error when I ran startx. What does the message about the undefined node number mean? Is it possible that's the problem?

Bob

I have tried each of the options listed and continue to get the same error. These are the lines after the backtrace.

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting.

XIO: Fatal IO error 104.

Bob

I went back to your first suggestion to type i810 at the boot prompt and what I got was this message: Could not find kernel image: i810

I'm sorry, don't know what I did the first time.

Bob
