It's possible that this would help if you've trashed the install somehow (e.g. gone in as root and deleted an essential library, or messed up a config file), but it's unlikely. Remember, this is not Windoze. We don't suffer from random corruption of installed software. It doesn't change unless you change it. Did harddrake work previously? I had to disable harddrake during boot because it was hanging trying to probe the SATA interface, but I'm still on 10.1. I think they have this fixed in 2006. Have you tried, as root, to run "harddrake2" from the command line to see if it reports any problems? -- Ron (ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net) Opinions expressed here are all mine ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
