I installed 7.1 without a hitch, it rebooted and
.... Hung! Rather anoying.
I am a newbie so I no idea how to go about
fixing it, so here are a few questions:
1) My first issue is grub, how do I change
runlevels from grub ? With lilo you could run "linux 1" and "linux 3",
grub doesnt seem offer this in an obvious way.
2) It jams ( even cntrl-alt-delete doesnt work )
after reporting the last ide information where it mentions the modes etc... So
one option is that the HD optimizations are causing a problem. I assume that 7.1
uses HDPARM like 7.0, but I recall that you can turn hd optimzations on/off from
a config file. Can anybody point to this file so that when 1 above is solved I
can turn them off.
3) I have a PCI PCMCIA Adapter which could be
causing this issue as it caused major headaches even in windows. How can I
diable it from hardware confiuration ?
4) What logs can I look at ( assuming I can get in
) to work out what is causing the issue ?
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated/
My system ( in case it helps ):
TMC TI5-VGF 2MB Motherboard
