[newbie] startup help
I had an unexpected problem occur today. When attempting to bootup the boot process will make it to Starting system logger and stops, it does not progress beyond this point. I'm pretty new at this and looking at the boot logs hasn't revealed anything to my inexperienced eye. What's going on here? What should I be looking at or for to help me solve this problem? Thank you for your assistance. Terry __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thank you for your assistance. Terry What happens if you let it sit there for a while - does it start up then? Meanwhile, if all else, you can boot off the install CD, hit F1 and then try a linux rescue - not necessarily to do any repairs, but to see if you can properly mount the root filesystem - and if so, then reboot and see what happens again during a normal bootup. -- Sun Jul 6 09:00:00 EST 2003 09:00:00 up 3 days, 22:20, 2 users, load average: 0.10, 0.14, 0.10 - |____ |kuhn media australia| | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | || | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 - * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people's patience. -- John Updike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
