Hi, i have installed the DVD-1 Lenny stable (15 feb), and it works well. But when i try to reboot the computer eight times (more or less), the OS doesn't start anymore.

I switch on the computer, i choose my partition, username and password, ok. Now, it appears (translated to english):


There is a X server executed in :0, would you like try another number?

If I say "no", it's the same continiously. If i say "yes", the OS restart with :1,:2,:3,:4,:5,:6.............................. infinitely, and it doesn't works.


What could i do? I have installed Debian Etch many times and it was working very well, without problems.

Thank you very much, I appreciatte your help.

I'm guessing you didn't really reboot the computer. You really only
logged out of X Window and left it running (hard to tell how anyone
could do that without knowing it). Try ALT-F7 to go to a running X.

when you try CTRL + ALT + F1, don't you got a command-line interface login prompt?
