Command shell only after successfull(ish) JaS 10.4.7 install

[steve1401]

Hi

 

I installed JaS 10.4.7 on my Dell laptop. The install seemed to work fine. Upon reboot, I can only get to a command shell, see screenshot;

 

 

My laptop;

Dell inspiron 9400

ATI X1400 graphics @ 1920x1200

Dual Core Intel SSE3 processor

 

During the JaS install I loaded the following patches;

Intel 10.4.7 Combo update

Intel SSE3

X11

 

As you can see from the screen shot, I can get to a command prompt, but no further.

 

On the first reboot after install, I got to do the system setup routine (network setup etc) and then the laptop just hung with a permanently whirring coloured circle.

 

I turned the machine off manually, rebooted, then I got no further than where I am now...

 

Please help,

 

Cheers

Steve
