I have just installed the 'workstation' option of Red Hat Linux 5.2
(Intel version). I then ran linuxconf. When i try to activate the
changes i've made, i get the following error:
"
The command:
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S85gpm restart
is taking longer than expected to complete.
Please take action
...
"
after which it gives me the option of skipping, aborting or killing the
command. I have tried this several times (sometimes not even changing
anything in linuxconf, just pressing activate), with different window
managers, and have even reformatted and reinstalled linux on the machine
a few times.

Any help on what this means and how to fix it would be much appreciated.
