Can you try booting from a liveCD or a liveUSB and see if everything is fine ?
just to make you more confortable, re-installing the same OS with same version is not a big headache if / is in a different mounting point than /home :)

Hi Paulo,
I tried with the OS11.4 live-cd, which does not work. It boots but at a certain moment, it hangs. Only a text underscore. I tried with a Sustestudio USB-stick, text only, OS 11.3 which works fine. I tried with an Ubuntu 10.4 stick which works fine as far as I can tell, I didn't try everything. I tried to re-install, works fine, until it does it's final start. Then it hangs on a black screen with only a graphical cursor.
I'm going to try Kubuntu.
The strange thing is : it worked !
I ran successfully memtest for two full passes and the third about 80%, so memory isn't an issue.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Koenraad Lelong.
Again replying my to own post.
I tried Kubuntu 11.04. This has a similar problem : at a certain moment it hangs. I installed Ubuntu 10.4 which works fine, for what I tested at the moment.

I have had a problem with my laptop hanging during boot (not with every release) and found that if I hit the shift key (I think any key would work) it would magically come back to life but hang again. Eventually it would boot and be trouble free until next boot. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
