[KLUG Members] Ximian freeze after install...

[Buist Justin]

It seems that part of the 'upgrading Mandrake' process included installation of a new kernel, which isn't working with your hardware for one reason or another.

You'll have to dig up some rescue disks (I generally just use the Debian root/rescue disk combo regardless of what Distro I'm saving), mount your filesystem(s) and try and restore your lilo.conf/kernel images back to a usable state.

Well, that's your 1,000 foot over-view of the process.  If you need more details write back.

Subject: [KLUG Members] Ximian freeze after install...


Hello KLUG,
  I'm a linux newbie who has been listening to (and learning from) the KLUG 
list for about a year.  I recently installed Mandrake 8.1 on my TP 600.  
Installation went very smooth (even detected my wireless card) and I was able 
to download and install Ximian GNOME over the LAN.  After upgrading Mandrake 
and Ximian GNOME packages, and (playing around for a couple of hours on my new 
set-up)I shutdown the laptop and went home.  Today, I powered up my laptop it 
booted fine and displayed the LILO GUI.  Then the screen displayed

Loading linux ...................

And it froze.  I tried booting the old_linux and the same thing happened.  But 
Windows 95 boots fine after choosing Windows from LILO.  Can anyone help me 
with this problem?
  Sean
