RedHat 7.3 problems

I've previously successfully used Slackware (versions 4 thru 7) and SuSe (7.x), but this is my first time trying RedHat. I'm attempting to go completely without Windows XP and thought RedHat would be my best bet. But, it seems to be "harder" to use than Slackware and SuSe in that I really don't know where it stores its files and such yet. My problem is that after having altered the kernel or modules in some way, Gnome will not automatically startup after booting. I have to logon from the console and launch Gnome automatically. Can someone help me troubleshoot what I'm doing wrong? The problem started when I compiled the NTFS module to read data off my NTFS partition. I've done a complete re-install 3 times and the behaviour is consistent whether I 1) re-compile the kernel and modules using the std RH configs, 2) just compile the single module and enable it and 3) totally customize the kernel config and re-compile it and the modules.

I also have a couple of less pressing problems. My USB keyboard and USB Mouse (MS Natural Keyboard Pro and MS Intellimouse Explorer) both will not work properly. I have to connect them via the PS/2 interfaces and then they work fine. Is Linux USB support still flaky? How can I configure these devices from within Red Hat?

Thanks in advance....leave it up to me, the only Slackware user who requires help with Red Hat🙂
 
Ahh one important piece of information is that I'm using a boot floppy to load Red Hat. I'm doing some pretty awkward temporary partitioning to shuffle data from XP to Linux because I only have one hard drive and I don't believe Linux could load properly with my current partitioning settings, without a boot floppy.
 
sounds like your default runlevel has been changed.

Edit your /etc/inittab file and change id:3:initdefault: to id:5:initdefault:
