Boot issues with Acer 5000


Recommended Posts

I've been dal booting my ACER 5000 w/ 2008.1 and XP for quite some time (all the way back to 2007)

 

However over the lasy 6 weeks, every 10th or 11th boot I get to the point where i enter my userid and pw's the system starts to freak out.

 

Specificially it displays a message about KDESERVICES not starting, and then it refuses to load.

 

The last error states the inability o locste USERID/TMP

 

What I end up doing is booting to failsafe mode and SU into KONSOLE

 

Then from the cli I enter chown -hR userid/tmp

 

then reboot and all is well.

 

I dont access my Windows partition but every 4 - 5 weeks for my work on call.

 

any and all ideas appeeciates.

 

Thanks.
