Hi James,

First, let me clarify I meant "Control-Alt-F*" to get to a console.

I am also sent back to a root prompt when I use "sudo shutdown -r  
now". But, if I "Control-Alt-F7" to get back to the original screen,  
under the flashing dots is a message which basically says to remove  
the installation cd (if any) and hit return to restart. Then, the  
computer will restart.

Keith
