Nothing there Rosemary : And the fact that you can post it means you did not upset things when you copied your files for me.

It may be hanging because it is looking for the card reader. Try putting Disk 1 in and booting and when you get the first screen do the F1 <enter> and then type "rescue" at the prompt. When it brings up a dos like screen arrow to the mount partitions and enter and when done do an exit and reboot the computer. Let us know what happens, HTHCard reader arrived today so thought I would try it out! Big mistake!
I read instructions on a board and following that took a look using HardDrake - don't know if this is it or not. Instructions said to look at hda. It says "old device file: /dev/hda" and just below " New devfs device: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc".
That's when I should have posted! Thought I would plug it in and see if it would auto detect on reboot, but it hung at "starting ALSA". So unplugged it and rebooted without it, but still hung at ALSA. So here I am in windows begging for help to get mandrake going again.
Frank I don't where I'm at with your requests because I can't get to my emails in mandrake!
Thanks in advance
Rosemary
Frank suggested I install explore2fs and post the fstab file.
Here it is
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda9 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /mnt ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-15,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0

Now my system IS different from yours and where I have /etc/udev/udev.rules [ So does yours ] you may also have /etc/udev/50-udev.rules.
If so could you please give me a copy of that ? What I am looking for is entries within the udev system such as I have in my /etc/udev/udev.rules file.
Like: <...snip...>
# alsa devices KERNEL="controlC[0-9]*", NAME="snd/%k" KERNEL="hw[CD0-9]*", NAME="snd/%k" KERNEL="pcm[CD0-9cp]*", NAME="snd/%k" KERNEL="midi[CD0-9]*", NAME="snd/%k" KERNEL="timer", NAME="snd/%k" KERNEL="seq", NAME="snd/%k"
My thought here is that we temporarily stop this lot happening to see whether or not there is a problem : we would do that by commenting out all the lines by editing this file and placing a # at the beginning of each of these lines. It's just that I'm not sure where on your system this is likely to be at present. [ I believe you are using MDK10.1 ? whereas I'm staying with MDK10 Official for now.]
Not at home during the day but I'm sure there are plenty of helpers out there for immediate advise and I will be sure to check my email each night.
Can't beat going at things one step at a time.
