Hello,

I have problem in booting section with loading ALSA modules. The computer freezes. How I can jump this? (I have GRUB as a loader. May I activating interactive start?) Thanks

Boot into single user mode to affect repairs. At your boot prompt enter

Boot to single user mode and remove the alsasound link from /etc/runlevels/default. Hopefully your system will boot but, without alsa running. From there you may be able to troubleshoot by:

Checking your boot logs for alsa errors.
Try loading the modules by hand. Check dmesg for errros.
Try starting alsasound by hand. Check dmesg and logs for erros.

A known problem if using module-init-tools-3.1.

Either compile into the kernel or go back to module-init-tools-3.0-r2.
