Hi everybody, I'm quoting an old thread 'cause a similar thing just happened to me. I can't boot Debian Linux anymore :-( It started just after having used MacOSX for a couple of hours. After that, Linux (kernel 2.4.21 ben2) doesn't boot, it just prints 15/20 lines during startup and then the machine switches off. The old kernel (2.4.18 ben1) goes a little further, but it hangs at some point before it has finished starting up the services. The only thing I was able to do was to get a root shell (the second time I try to boot the old kernel fsck gives me the chance to get it) and have a look around. The file system seems OK, I've also reinstalled the new kernel and re-run ybin but nothing changed.
One thing that is in common with the problem Wolfgang had is that the time is reset to january 1st 1970 every time I try to boot, don't know if this matters. Tried COMMAND+ALT+P+R with no luck, tried video=ofonly with both kernels with no luck, no more ideas left. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if I missed any info that might be useful please ask! Thanks in advance, -- luca
