There is a problem at the moment with usb devices with 2010.0 not being detected. Once the system is up and running there is a work around for the problem, however if you are booting from a usb device this may be the reason for the boot sequence not completing.

 

Welcome to the board.

Hi there,

 

Which graphic device do you have? Apparently kernel 2.6.31.1 has problems running X on Intel chips. That can also explain why you had problems with other distros, assuming they are also running same kernel version. Please see the bug report I submitted:

https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=54576

 

If you also have Intel graphic chip and encountering similar problem, you can add a comment on the bug page, so Mandriva will put the heat on Intel drivers development team.

 

EDIT - P.S:

At the moment I don't see a way to fix this problem. You may try installing 2009.1 and wait for the fix before you upgrade to 2010.0. If someone thinks I'm wrong and has an idea how to cope with the problem, I'll be glad to hear and try it.
