Generally finding issues and designing is what eats most of time :) We need some more info from you. First of all is that hang really related to xf86-video-ati (radeon DDX driver)? Can you change default init to 3 (vim /etc/inittab) and check if machine boots fine every time? Or maybe it's "radeon" kernel module that causes your hang? Can you ssh from other machine to your hanged machine? -- Rafał _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
