I edit grub.conf and changed the booting sequence but now linux 7.2 is loading but there is no login screen. System is dual boot but windows is working fine. How can I edit grub.conf now?
Is there any way to edit from windows ME?
please let me know.
Thanks.

You should be able to boot into single user mode and make the nessary changes to grub.conf. Here is a link with info on how to boot into single user mode: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...ng-single.html

This is the configuration of grub.conf
Why I am not able to see the login screen of linux but windows is working fine
-----------------------------------------------------
default=0
timeout=10
splshimage=(hd0,6) /grub/splash-spm.gz
title Red hat linux(2.5.7)
root(hd0,6)
Kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7 ro root/dev/hda10
initrd /initrd-2.4.7.imng
title Dos
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Is your system configured to use the graphical login or the command line login?

If you are using the graphical login, it may be that your display settings for X are not correct and the X server is hanging. If that is the case you may have to edit your XF86Config file by hand to get it to a state that works. I believe there are command line utilities to configure X but I can't think of them right now

Yes system is configured to graphical login screen.
But now no login screen.

If you are able to boot into single user mode try running the "xf86config" tool, setting the resolution to something low like 800x600 and make sure you have the correct frequencies that your monitor can handle. After you make the changes to that configuration file reboot and see what you get.

OR if you made changes to the display settings there should be an XF86Config.backup that you can rename to XF86Config. This file is located in /etc/X11/

There is nothing wrong with monitor I guess.
I edited grub.conf
By default my system was booting to linux. But I changed the default=0 to default=1
Then DOS became the default. But when I tried to boot linux. System is booting all the services starts but when it comes to graphical login screen There nothing is coming up. But then I upgraded my system and installed the kernel again but now

If the system was once working with the X login and something changed there should be the XF86Config.backup. I would still try to find the XF86Config.backup, and rename it to XF86Config. It sounds to me as if your system is hanging at the X login.

[konfusion]

I think its not hanging at login screen but its not able to locate some file. Because it refresh and shows the login and then goes black.

I guess you could try the repair feature from the install disks and see where that get's you.
