Hi Charlie, Thanks for the info.
I am using XUBUNTU 10.10 (Maverick). Unfortunately there is no ´rescue´ option included in the ´boot menu´ of this Alpha version therefore I couldn´t proceed with all the steps you proposed. The memory check was ok. Do you have any other suggestions? Bernard On 10-09-08 08:36 PM, Charlie Kravetz wrote: > Thank you for your report.
