Could some one point me to the fix for this Problem.

I downloaded the source for XF86.3.3.5 did a make world then make install. I
went into X fine after configuring with XF86config.  After a reboot. The
Font Server I.E XFS would not finished its thing during bootup.   Stopping
Linux from booting at all.

Could someone please answer a few questions for me.

What caused this? Besides upgrading my XFree86. What is wrong in the
XFree86 Source to  cause this hang? Is the XFS a separate program
that needs to be upgraded when XFree86 is upgraded?

What do I need to do to fix the  XFS Start Up?

After using linux -b to get into the linux system.  How do I modify files
when it is a Read-Only File System?

Thanks,

WesR
