<p>Andrew,</p>
<p>If you have a wired keyboard with three LEDs, do the LEDs flash,
that indicates a kernel panic?</p>
<p>It looks like the kernel was able to mount the root filesystem
because the messages mention udisksd.<br>
</p>
<p>Does pressing the enter key scroll the screen, if so the system
is not locked up?</p>
<p>Can you get a console login prompt if you press Ctl-Alt-F2?</p>
<p>Getting logged in at all would be good.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Roy Bamford.<br>

<div>Hi Andrew,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think people are going to need a bit more detail to
provide advice. What kind of computer is it? Desktop or
laptop? Where does it go wrong? Does anything happen
when you press the power button? Are there any error
messages?<br>
</div>

<div>Thanks,<br>
