Hi, I'm happy that our (Olivier Thauvin and me) package works fine on your systems :) > 1 system hanging at boot.All systems are multi-boots which are used to > test new distros. Variety of hardware. Could you please disable frame buffer (vga=normal in lilo.conf if you use lilo) and tell us the error messages you get ? > Have found one solid problem.If you select logout/shutdown from KDE > you get a BSOD. logout/reboot works fine. argh, I don't use neither kde nor kdm so I haven't noticed this, I'll try to track this bug. > A major source of confusion is the lack of progress info in the > initial boot, makes you think the system has hung. > Is there any specific info we can send from the hanging system? As Tim replied to you, you need to disable framebuffer (vga=normal in lilo.conf) to see messages at boot. Bootsplash doesn't work currently with kernel 2.6, I hope somebody (perhaps me) will port it soon to 2.6, but we need a working vesa framebuffer before. Thanks for your report :) -- Olivier Blin
