Does booting with "grml noudev nofstab lang=de" work for you? Disclaimer: many drivers won't be loaded automatically then. I'm not yet sure whether it's udev (with a specific driver) or another startup script causing the problems. This screenshot shows a typical startup of grml: http://grml.org/tmp/gkrellShoot_08-15-06_223409.png Can you please point me to the line which you see right before it's hanging? JFYI: If you use lang=de you don't need keyboard=de anymore. :) regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
