I ran into the same problem like this before. I made the same choice of migrating nic setting, all the sudden my screen turned black but did not lock up. If I hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete now, I can see a message showing up in blue telling me the machine is shutting down. I am guessing that when the screen turned black, you thought it had locked up and hit reset button on the computer, if you did that and not using a journaling file system, you may have some corrupted files. To avoid the black screen after swapping nic, just simply choose not to migrate network setting.

Bargon III Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 7:56 PM To: Mandrake -- Newbie Subject: [newbie] modules.conf Problems My /etc/modules.conf file has somehow been corrupted. My machine boots but with many errors. I am running Mandrake 8.1 on a Athlon 600mhz machine. I just installed 8.1 over Christmas break and everything went well and it worked fine. I haven't used the Linux side of my machine lately and when I booted it the other day it started giving me many errors about my modules.conf file and different modules it was loading. I can not specify what it says in the logs because its the same machine as im using now and the Linux side has no network access due to these errors. The only thing that I have changed since its worked and it not working is I swapped my network card. The first time I booted Linux after that swap of nics hardrake came up and told it to remove the old configuration and configure the new card then I said migrate my network settings to this new card. Once I did that the machine locked up and since then I have been getting the modules.conf errors. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I don't have a clue and any help would be greatly appreciated.
