During booting in, it hanged at "bringing up ppp0", just after ethernet,
what can i do? Reninstalled? My God!
I use DSL to connect to internet, it worked fine yesterday, but donno why, today screw up!
It seems like Mandriva is having problems with your net connection. Sometimes if you leave it for a few minutes (or press <ENTER> or CONTROL-C), it will stop trying to connect and startup without the net connection. If it starts up, you may need to reconfigure your network settings.
after CONTROL-C, it still remain idle.
what other solution?
You can boot with a Live CD, chroot to your Mandriva installation and turn off pppd. To do this boot from a live cd like Mepis, make sure your Mandriva partition is mounted somewhere. Switch to root and then do "chroot /mnt/hda1 (make sure this matches with where your Mandriva partition is mounted). Once thats done do "chkconfig pppd off" (or "chkconfig ppp off") and then reboot. I am sure you can also use your Mandriva installation disc to achieve the same thing whilst in rescue mode.

What you said did not work!
Anyway , I solved it by pressing "i" during booting up, when came to ppp0, i press N, not to load it, and i can enter linux, and manually connect DSL again.

Oh, I forgot about interactive mode. The method above should have worked because it disables pppd at boot time. Anyway I'm glad you got it sorted.
