It just tries to opens and times out and stops trying.

I also get a "Video mode undefined" at startup and I have to hit enter twice..help?
To fix the undefined video mode you need to edit the file /etc/lilo.conf and change the vga=791 line to vga=normal to do this open a console window (clam shell icon on taskbar) and type in su and the enter key type in your root password and then enter key again you are now root. Next gvim /etc/fstab then enter key once more make the required change and save the file to write the changes to LILO type /sbin/lilo -v and enter key. For the resolution we need to know the video card and monitor you have in the system and you need to post the contents of the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.
