Need Information on Gutsy

[Art Alexion]

I have gutsy on a gx280 and it was working fine until today.

With Dell machines, you have to hit f12 during system start to boot from other than HDD no matter how you set the bios.

I had a problem for a while with xorg-server-core which produced a black strip over about a fifth of my screen, but that seems to have been fixed in the past 2 weeks.  As a stop gap, I just reinstalled the old version of the package.

After rebooting after today's updates, I can no longer mount.cifs  Seems there are permission errors.  But I am not trying to explicitly mount any shares.  I think it is related to pam, winbind and trying to connect to an active directory domain.  Working for a few weeks before today.

What do you mean by "system unusable"? Is it smoking? Fire?

What graphics card do you have? My Dell Inspiron has the ATI X1400,
which means that a standard install leaves me at a non-GUI console.
The workaround is easy and takes 4 seconds. You should describe in
detail the state of the machine, and any messages, and maybe people on
this list can help you install.
