[TriLUG] Help with Mandrake 2005 LE

[Douglas Ward]

I had that problem once with Mandrake 10.2. Try booting the computer in 
interactive mode. It will prompt you for each service. You should be able to 
figure out which service is hanging on boot. This should give you more 
things to google on for finding a resolution. I was able to get by the 
hanging service by saying no when prompted to start it. It's a pain long 
term but short term it will get you past the problem.
