Right. I forgot the list oddity again. Sorry.

Kind of :-)

It loaded a bunch of modules, then printed "loading via82cxxx" on the screen and hung for several minutes. I repeated this a couple of times.
Do you remember if you had to do all that when you installed the system?
I don't remember ever having module issues (that's why I tried several times, watching the screen); I'm sure there were no issues recently. The only important problems I can recall were the infamous zen troubles.
... If you can copy the exact error message it gives then I could search the boot scripts to find it, but I don't think it is there.
What I gave were the only non-ordinary messages. There may be capitalization mistakes, but, since I don't have the X or gpm clipboards, I don't think I can do significantly better.
As somebody else said, you could check the bios setup, and disable smart checking: then the boot process would not be halted.

As to the HD, the maker probably has a program to test the device, which you can download from their web page.
The drive is a Fujitsu, as I recall. I looked at Felix's suggestion, and downloaded the UBDCD 4.1 iso. That looks like a good thing to try. Thanks, all. It seems likely that I need a new motherboard. I remember seeing a thread on recommended motherboards recently; I'll try to find it, and if anyone has newer recommendations, I'd like to hear them. I'd like to evaluate them while I'm trying to be sure where my present problems lie. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
