Re: System hangs at boot
Can I ask how I disable the ndiwsrapper from being
loaded at boot time? I dont know but I think this
might be the reason. I can boot in single user mode
and when I issue a init 2 my system hangs when it gets
to the services. I tried to disable the services but
it still hangs. I have no idea what can be the cause
of this but the only change I made was the introuction
of the correct wireless driver to ndiswrapper. Maybe
if I can disable it I can get back to boot. What is
odd is if i boot in single user mode I can load the
ndis driver and use it i/o problems. I even removed
exim4 from my system and it still doesnt work.
I also tried the other suggestion to let it hanged for
a while. I waited for 5 minutes and nothing.
I also tried to boot it many times w/o hope.
Have any suggestions?
Thanks for the replies,
