What is the last line in verbose mode after which your system hangs ?

Last line is:

From this I assume you were running the system fine once installed.

after successful booting, the system hangs when the progress bar have (before login screen) gone above 70%..
And also im not found any "failed" item in Verbose mode..

When you boot up doesn't the Menu which shows you to boot into Mandriva , Windows etc have an option for booting into safe mode or Fallback mode?

A google about this board actually shows alot of folks ranting about it for some reason. Maybe it has something to do with the display driver I guess. Do you at least get a CLI? I forgot the shortcut but isnt there a shortcut which takes you to CLI? Like ctrl + Alt +1 or something. You might want to confirm with someone who is experienced in Mandriva also.

thankx for replies...

im using Asus motherboard from 3 years..i have installed most type of linux distro (Fedora, Mint, Open Suse, Ubuntu and lastly Mandriva) in no. of times.. i never faced like any compatibility and stability issues like this ....

i think. the problem may be at choosing repositaries...
now i simply reinstalled mandriva 2008 and it works fine with all updates..

Gave up so easily...

Hi Darkstar,,

i already stated that i have reinstalled mandriva 2008 and it took just only 30 minutes...
i think, this is only the easiest method to solve unknown problems in Linux (like for me as linux minnows)

anyhow much more thanks for your interesting....

Listen reinstalling a OS won't help you learning it.. try to fix the problem.. That will help you learn the problem and you will slowly gain experience like parka
