Hello,

I am relatively new to Linux, and have been spending the last couple of
days joining a new Red Hat Enterprise Linux server onto a windows
server 2003 ADS DC. I am 90% of the way there:

However, when I reboot the machine, it gets through to the start of the
GUI where it starts up the services and probes for new hardware (and
the progress bar is on screen), but once that part is complete, it
seems to hang.

The monitor reports "no signal" and the keyboard appears to have gone
dead. If i press the power button on the server, it does not start the
shutdown process. The only way to reboot is to hold it in until the
power goes off.

The strange thing is that this does not seem to happen every time
(probably 1 in 5 does not hang).

The only changes to the startup I have made are to make the Samba and
Winbindd services auto start, and I can see from watching the "show
details" that they both appear to start.

Can anyone suggest any reason for this problem? Or at least where I
can look for any logs which report what the error may be?

Thanks,

Andrew
