Dell Inspiron 6000, Centrino (Intel 2200 WLAN), 512 MB, 1.6 GHz, ATI X300 all packages are up to date - except kernel. Because of problems with VMware I'm using version 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL. hal = 0.4.2-4.EL4 gdm = 2.6.0.5-7.rhel4.12 > > Had you made any changes to the system prior to this starting? I looked at yum.log - no changes since Sep 01. But the problem first appeared yesterday. The only thing I changed yesterday was deactivating ntpd. If I boot into runlevel 2 and use "startx" the system works fine. If I boot into runlevel 5 and disabled hal before, the system works fine, too. Only if I active hal and boot into runlevel 5 the system hangs. Regards, Christian -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
