Dear Dimitrios,
Thank you for your comprehensive answers above. Much appreciated.
To answer your questions:
a) I think i can boot from older kernels because I can boot PClinuxos 2007 and Linux Mint 3.0. I cannot see from the new system as I boot from a CD and it never gets to the point of asking me for safe options before it crashes.
b. Have not been able to do upgrade. I have installed the same CD on 3 other computers and it works fine, but on the notebook I just have vista home premium running and I want to make dual boot configuration by rezizing the HD. It crashes long before I get there. I am trying to watch the error messages, but it is to fast in text mode. Any way I can slow it down? I have seen one message
39.845376 EIP: [<c027ad42>] dev_driiver_string + 0x2/0x30 ss:ESP 0068: f7fd3d40
39.84599 --- [ end trace 4c80120366482ef8]
udevd-event run_program \sbin\modprobe abnormal exit
c. Does not get there.
Thanks for your help
Hein
