Can you try the Ctrl-Alt Fx key combo to check if any text consoles started?

It would be interesting to know if the computer is crashed at this stage, or the computer is running fine but not displaying anything. Unfortunately, can't think of an easy non-trivial way of working this out.
One thing should be easy to tell however: Are the screens still powered up? Or do they automatically enter power saving mode, i.e. not receiving a signal? -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au> _______________________________________________ luv-beginners mailing list luv-beginners@luv.asn.au http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-beginners

My first guess is that a rule in /etc/fstab or /etc/fstab.d/* says "mount <some disk> on /media/datas at boot time." If you can find the line, you can comment it out (put a "#" in front). It'll look something like this: UUID=... /media/datas auto defaults 0 1 If you're using a GUI and /media/datas is removable storage (e.g. USB key, SD card) then the GUI should manage all this automatically; an fstab entry is not needed.
nothing happens if I wait; I have to press s.
That's because the OS doesn't know if /media/datas is important. If it was important, continuing without it might break things.
