Hi, I can confirm this problem :
Process or System hang during depmod -> need hard shutdown to get out. Tested on 2.6.13, 2.6.13.2 , 2.6.13.3. No problem with 2.6.13mm3. How to reproduce it : Install the latest Nvidia driver. No logs. Best regards JP Selon Chris Bainbridge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > Since updating to 2.6.13.2 last week I've had a couple of system hangs > which required a poweroff.
