Greetings, After a successful few weeks of Mandrake 7.0 on a Dell Latitude LS laptop, I decided to reformat my Linux partitions and do a fresh install of Mandrake 7.1. The installation went fine using CD's I burned from the two ISO images available for download, but now, when I boot, the machine hangs when it gets to: Loading sound module(nm256) I need to hold down the power button to get the machine to shut off. Control-C doesn't seem to work. I hadn't attempted to use sndconfig with my 7.0 install. The machine has a neomagic sound card. How can I get past this error? I could live without sound, if I have to, but having a machine that doesn't boot Linux is a bit short of my objective :) Thanks! John -- --------------------- John M. O'Shaughnessy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
