Re: System hangs at boot

Unfortunately nothing of these worked. I will try to
reinstall the system from scratch and see if I will
have the same problem. I hope I wont :)

Thanks for your help,

Hi,

Can I ask how I disable the ndiwsrapper from being
loaded at boot time?

I'm not sure, since I've never used it. You can
check if there is any
file in /etc/init.d/ related to it. If there is,
you can use
update-rc.d to remove it. (Check the man page.)

I dont know but I think this
might be the reason. I can boot in single user
mode
and when I issue a init 2 my system hangs when it
gets
to the services. I tried to disable the services
but
it still hangs. I have no idea what can be the
cause
of this but the only change I made was the
introuction
of the correct wireless driver to ndiswrapper.
Maybe
if I can disable it I can get back to boot. What
is
odd is if i boot in single user mode I can load
the
ndis driver and use it i/o problems. I even
removed
exim4 from my system and it still doesnt work.

I'm not sure removing exim4 is a good idea. It's
part of the base
system and used to deliver local error messages...
(But I am not sure
it's really that bad.)

So, is ndiwsrapper a module? If so, check
/etc/modules. You can try to
comment it out.

I also tried the other suggestion to let it hanged
for
a while. I waited for 5 minutes and nothing.

I also tried to boot it many times w/o hope.

Hmm... Did you look at /etc/network/interfaces?
If, say eth1 is your
wireless card, is there a "auto eth1" in it? If so,
you can try to
remove it, but I am not sure that that will help
anymore...

Have any suggestions?

That's all I have for now. (I'm *really* not a
guru...) :-)

HTH,

Luis
