Sid, Thanks for that, the system is up, but I can't seem to update the kernel, YOU suggests it's the latest available. Version 2.6.5-7.108. I set the system to acpi=off for now and see what happens. Thanks, Neil. On Wed, 2004-10-13 at 12:07, Sid Boyce wrote:

System : IBM Laptop R40e OS : 9.1 Pro Patched to 12th October 2004 ( I can't tell you precise versions as I can't get into the system anymore!)
I have a problem possibly with the ali sound driver, during boot the system locks. I had to power off the system at this stage to reboot into failsafe mode. This system starts up, but stops whilst checking the transaction log on hda3.
The last output is :
ReiserFS: hda3: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal ReiserFS: hda3: using ordered data mode reiserfs: using flush barriers ReiserFS: hda3: journal params: device hda3, size 8192, journal first block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max commit age 30, max trans age 30 ReiserFS: hda3: checking transaction log (hda3)
The hard disk light is permanently on.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Neil.
Try booting with the option "acpi=off", if that's successful, use YOU to upgrade to the latest kernel. Regards Sid.
