Re Hat Won't die...

[raid517]

Hi, I am back to a familiar, (well sort of, its happend once before) problem. I can't kill X in Redhat. In user mode (is that the problem?) I open a command prompt and type su, mypasswd "init 3" (without quotations) I get a message saying "command not recognised" (or very similar). I have tried killxkdm, and killx gdm all I get is a message saying "no processes killed. Also I want to find out the PCI bus address of my graphics card, Radeon 9500 pro. But when I do lspci again I get "command not recognised. Does this mean that RedHat does not come with any pci tools as is the case with Mandrake? If not how can I find the relative bus addresses of all of my installed pci hardware?

RedHat is quite cool, but I think its crazy that the supplied me with a nice fast i686 compiled Kernel/Athlon kernel via Red Hat update but neglected to inclue the same net support as they did in the original Kernel. (We're talking about RH 9.0 here).

If I could find out what pci devices I had installed (a lot are on board so I don't really know what they are) I could compile a module for them, or build support into the kernel for them.

All advice is welcome.

I think the problem is as you used su, you haven't got root's path, "/sbin/init 3" should work. You could also use "su -" instead of "su", and that should make you root with root's enviroment settings (including the path), then you should be able to use just "init 3".

For your other question, try typing "cat /proc/pci"
