Boot Problems

Postby marshalls » Feb 5th, '13, 00:36

I'm having issues booting my KDE installation of mageia. Worked great for about a week and now it freezes right before the login page should be displayed. I can use alt+ctl+f2 and load a new shell and startx just fine. anybody have any ideas?

Is this with Mageia 2? If you press Esc key during normal boot, what is the last message that you can see?

It is with Mageia 2. I'll try the esc key on my next boot.
