When the system crashes, all the mounted filesystems are checked to make sure that they are okay. On large partitions/slower machines, this can take a while. When my system crashes, it takes upwards of five minutes to get through the boot process. > > It wasn't there. I was just upgrading for that 3.3.3.1.-10 when the > whole system crashed (again).

When you were upgrading to the new X packages, were you running X? I was informed a couple months ago that this is unwise. Upgrade from the console instead. Also, HOW are you upgrading? Are you using apt-get? This is the easiest way to keep your system up to date. You can upgrade to the latest X using apt-get by putting deb http://ftp.netgod.net/ x/ in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, and running apt-get update apt-get upgrade if you didn't already know that. > > > I have a > > G200 myself, and I had to upgrade to 3.3.3.1-10 cuz the X on the > > slink CDs didn't support my card. > > > > Also, when specifying the horizontal and vertical frequencies, > > are you pressing <Enter> after entering each range in the > > appropriate box?

It could be that you didn't have any other resolutions to choose from. I don't. Well, good luck, hang in there, and let us know how it's going! -- __ _ Mark Wagnon Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chula Vista, CA /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ http://www.debian.org
