Hi, a) Am very sorry for not disclosing that I used VMWare. b) NVIDIA SATA controller was the one that worked. c) "boot into runlevel 3, disconnect all usb devices." Do you mean, I should login in text mode? I am getting the error when Linux starts the services. Something like this: ....[OK] ....[OK] ....[OK] ....[OK] ....[OK] Setting Network parameters ------------ [OK] Bringing up lookback interface -------- <system hangs at this point> I do not have any USB devices. Sorry again for not disclosing VMWare use, Regards, Ravi. On 3/29/06, Karanbir Singh <mail-lists@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Ravi Kumar. wrote: > > Yes, the dump was taken from VMWare.
