YaAqoB Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 (edited) Hello all. I have got Mandrake 10.1 oe. I have been using this no problems for a few months now. Today I was using mandrake fine, I shut down, went out for the afternoon and when I came home I started her up. Well it started hanging on the Detecting New Hardware part. I turned that off and now it hangs on the Alsactl restore part. If I hit CTRL ALT DEL it comes up with stopping ALSA and don't go anywhere. I can't figure out how to do teh interactive boot as to not run ALSA. So at the moment I have a unusable Linux box. Please help me. UPDATE: I have now figured the Interactive boot. I can boot it up by telling it not to boot ALSA. Now Mandrake Control Center won't work. Whats up with that. What the frik has gone wrong here. I thought Linux was supposed to be stable. I typed in the terminal - service alsa stop - This stopped alsa ok but MCC & harddrake won't start up also my USB flash drive won't work now. Is it time for a windows style reinstall?
