Oh, thank you, I didn't know what to test... > shm is a tmpfs (a filesystem living in RAM, not hard disk) that is > mounted to /dev/shm. > The echo-command Berthold mentioned just tries to create a little file > in this filesystem. I see! ok, tried this "echo 'foo...", nothing happened (got next prompt), so this seems to be ok. > If this also doesn't freeze your system, try the other init scripts: > > cd /etc/init.d/boot.d/ > for file in S* ; do > echo "--- Starting $file... ---" > ./$file start > echo "done - press enter" > read > done > > Just wait some seconds after each script, then press enter to start the > next one. (You could also type each script name manually, but the above > script is easier ;-) Thank you, Christian for detailed descrition that even learners like I can understand ;-) I very much appreciate this. So, here's the result: S01boot.proc S02boot.shm S03boot.rootfsck S04boot.udev seemed to run like they should, some messages, but not looking like errors, then S05boot.colplug freezed "Tons" of messages run over the screen. I just wrote down the last few that I could see: hw-random: RNG not detected ACPI-0768: ***warning: Thread 865 could not acquire Mutes [NULL] AE_BAD_PARAMETER shpchp: acpi_shpchprm: get_device PCI ROOT HID fail=0x1001 phci1394: $Rev: 1299 $ Ben Collins <(email-addr of bcollins)> PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 0000:02:03.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 for device 0000:02:0a.0 phci1394: fw_host0: OHCI-1394 1.0 (PCI) IRQ=[9] MMIO=[ed000000 - ed0007ff] Max-Packet=[2048] tg3.c: v3.37 (August 25, 2005) PCI: found IRQ 10 for device 0000:02:05.0 Then it freezes. ------------------------------ The "tg3.c"-line makes me remember another experiment I've tried earlier: I tried to update with Yast (staring it from the boot CD). After collecting the software list Yast said, it found some hardware and gave the message: load device driver TG3 Then it freezed. ----------------------------- Ok, I hope these "tests" will bring me closer to a solution. What should I do next?
