I have just installed Mandrake 7.2 When I switch to a root console I get a hard freeze. I also get a hard freeze at random points while working in any GUI invironment. It sounds like a configuration problem. Could you point me to the correct files to look at or maybe a staring point. Being new with Linux :) I re-installed and get the same problem. So from that I can tell it isnt an installation error.
