I knew about interactive mode, but never even thought of it. Doing this, I was able to boot to a command line. Then, I took Remy's advise and re-emerged xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-keyboard-mouse. Turns out that they both needed updating. This fixed everything. Sorry, if I was a little terse. I panicked. I keep all responses to problems I've posted in case I run into the same thing again. So thanks guys for coming though for me as always! Regards, Colleen > --=20 Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.o= rg
