I logged out and back in again. No menu entry. I rebooted. I got a message about being unable to stat the device "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1". Well, doh, this is while we are still running off the initrd, and encryption hasn't been set up. So there's a prompt to type in the name of the correct device. Doesn't work: I get no characters echoed as I type, and no action after I hit return. I hit CTL-ALT-DEL, and that works (!). I fell back to an older kernel, which does work. I'm tempted to remove the hibernate package, and see if I can recover the farkled kernel, but I'm afraid I'll farkle this one. I have one other kernel installed, and it was left over from Komic Koala, so I'm not sure it will work with Ludicrous Lynx libraries, etc. So, time to back up the system and prepare for a fresh installation. Oh, fun. Switching to a distribution like Debian that is not bleeding edge is getting more attractive every day. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
