This one is stupid.
After fiddling with the 2.6 kernel bundled with Slack 10 I found myself
with a few problems.
First, I lost X and sound, but i managed to get them working.
The stupid part came after, when I tried to shutdown the computer.
It does all the things he does, enters run level 0 or 6 and then it leaves me with the line:
INIT: No more processes to run in this run level.
And then, nothing.
All this because of the darn kernel??!!
The computer doesn't power off, restart, respond to keystrokes, NOTHING!
I just have to press the power button for a few seconds for it to power down.
What sould I do??!
Well dudes, After removing the packages from kernel 2.6 a
wondrous thing happened.
No modules loaded. None. Nada.
I've got the fastest loading Linux in history!
Too bad I lost the sound, power down a a few other thing I
haven't noticed yet.
There's a way to fuck up a system!
And I am 30 kilometres from my CDs!
