newbie problem booting into new mandrake 9.2 system
 

Hi

I got hold of Mandrake 9.2 as I wanted to give it a try. I have a windows system and had 4 partitions on my hard drive. I deleted everything out of the F: drive for Linux about 10gb of space. Everything went well during the linux installation, it asked me to reboot I did this and selected Linux off the boot loader, it started loading up Linux then it seemed to freeze, I pressed ESC to go to the verbose/text install and it had stopped at the following section:

finding module dependencies
modprobe: modprobe: insmod pwc <failed>

Is this an error with my hardware, or the partitioning I have on my hard drive?

Any help will be appreciated before I try and reinstall.

Thanks

I have a friend that have the same problem on M 9.2 ...
I say to me that it's an USB gestion problem, if you have too USB material conected it can be that ...
Try to disconnet some USB material...

press esc right after boot to go to text, then type "i" for selctive boot...

spot on, I unplugged my Logitech usb webcam and it loaded. Thanks for your help.
