</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Interesting... perhaps it's the initrd in use that broke it? Or maybe
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the kernel itself is busted. There will be a 3.1.4 coming very soon (as
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> there was a brown-paper-bag USB borkage on the 3.1.3 kernel)
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> If possible could you let me know what this command produces before you
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> update to 3.1.4:
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display mkinitrd
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Cheers
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> output:
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> [<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">root at Kira</A> kira]:/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display mkinitrd
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> mkinitrd - status is auto.
</I>&gt;<i> link currently points to /sbin/mkinitrd-mkinitrd
</I>&gt;<i> /sbin/mkinitrd-mkinitrd - pirority 100
</I>&gt;<i> Current ' best' version is sbin/mkinitrd-mkinitrd
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> ---
</I>&gt;<i> I will delay further update until this issue resolved..
</I>
Could you try with the new kernel 3.1.4 as things are now?

If that doesn't work, boot into the old working kernel, do a &quot;urpmi
dracut&quot; and then recreate the initrd by doing the following as root:

rm -f /boot/initrd-3.1.4-desktop-1.mga2.img
/sbin/installkernel -N 3.1.4-desktop-1.mga2


Then reboot into the new kernel and see if it works better.
