Sending this via squirrel mail from another computer. My mine notebook won't boot. I came out of suspend this evening, and gnome was confused. So I first did a yum update, thus getting everything through last night including a new kernel. I rebooted and the system gets a good ways through the boot process then turns off. The last two messages that I can barely read mention something about SCSI sync then drive off. Then it shuts off. I can't read the screen fast enough. I tried booting from the prior kernel and same behavior. I have everything on this drive and my backup is a couple weeks old (shame, shame. I was going to do one tomorrow). So two things: How do I get the boot to allow me to step through the process. Years ago, I knew how to do this. Any idea what the problem might be and what to add to the boot instructions so that I can get the system up to fix things? Or some other way to fix things. This is a bad situation to find myself in, two days before Passover and lots to do.... -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
