Hi Well yet more trouble with this Toshiba A30 Laptop . Having not been able to solve the first problem he went for a complete reinstall now comes the first reboot the system just sits there sayin "Setting Clock to Hardware Clock" it will sit there for sometimes a few seconds right thru to just hanging there this is only on the first reboot after initial install (the automated reboot) . Once you get it past that it will only boot up in safe mode until you have completed everything then it will come up fully with no problems Toshiba Satelite A30 Intel 855GM graphics 512Mb Ram P4 2.8Ghz Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 2 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.30-rc6-git3-4- default KDE: 4.2.86 (KDE 4.2.86 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090514)) "release 1" 11:21 up 8 days 2:04, 4 users, load average: 0.14, 0.19, 0.44
