I'm having problems booting the Core 1 system I've installed on a Compaq Presario 800 notebook. At boot time, the last few messages prior to the system hanging are: Creating block devices Creating root device Mounting root filesystem kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode Freeing unused kernel memory: 136k freed The power switch is the only thing the system listens to at this point. I'm also unable to boot from the installation CD-ROM, which hangs after the message "hda: attached ide-disk driver." However, I was able to boot from floppy, and install from CD, with no problems. Debugging is complicated by the fact that "linux rescue" after booting from floppy doesn't seem to work (I end up in the install program regardless). I have a bit of Linux experience, but right now I'm stuck. Any suggestions on debugging this? ===== -- Bob Dedrick (bd914@xxxxxxxxx) Hartsdale, NY __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
