Is it something > related to monitor or has the linux itself has changed? Please advise. press enter when Linux starts, it should open the GRUB OS selection. Highlight your current OS, press e. Edit the kernel invocation command and deleted anything that written like "splash", "quite" etc. Then press Ctrl+X...it should boot your kernel with the new parameters. Hopefully, by doing so, it is showing the progress more verbose (lots of text showing). Then kindly paste few last lines of the boot message before it got hung. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
