I've noticed that after the hard rebot after the hangs at login time, innd doesn't work. I've read about a similar problem with the keyboard with libgdbm and innd uses libgdbm. Maybe a possible cause? Sorry for the disturb but I'm worried about this problem! -- Tremal-Naik -- lem2161@iperbole.bologna.italia E.A.
