Description of problem: I updated yesterday the kernel (I think) to 3.0.2. Now I can't boot anymore. I tried to use the previous kernel and still can't boot. With both kernels the boot stops at line: INIT: version 2.86 booting Now I can access Mageia's partition from Fedora. This is harware info from Fedora: [corneliu@localhost ~]$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 Host Bridge Alternate 00:02.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (ext gfx port 0) 00:06.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (PCIE port 2) 00:0a.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 PCI to PCI bridge (PCIE port 5) 00:11.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 SATA Controller [IDE mode] 00:12.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB OHCI0 Controller 00:12.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700 USB OHCI1 Controller 00:12.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB EHCI Controller 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB OHCI0 Controller 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700 USB OHCI1 Controller 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB EHCI Controller 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 SMBus Controller (rev 3c) 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 IDE Controller 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 LPC host controller 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 PCI to PCI Bridge 00:14.5 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 USB OHCI2 Controller 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Family 10h Processor HyperTransport Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Family 10h Processor Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Family 10h Processor DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Family 10h Processor Miscellaneous Control 00:18.4 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] Family 10h Processor Link Control 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4350] 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV710/730 02:00.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 03) 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

and in failsafe mode ? maybe you can see some log in /var/log/messages

Also, while booting in safe mode I saw that the fglrx module could not be installed and the system was trying to fall back to the radeon driver.
You can launch XFdrake to reload a good configuration for your driver, perhaps you can also force the rebuild of the module.
OK, I tried to fix the proprietary driver with XFdrake but it doesn't work. I used XFdrake to switch back to the radeon driver. I also had to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf because X doesn't start with the old xorg.conf. Now I am able to log into KDE.
ok so close
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => INVALID
You can close it if you want to, but has the fglrx thing been fixed?
I don't know you have some details of the issue ?
Like I said before: Mageia does not boot with kernel + fglrx. And it is not possible to fix the broken fglrx using XFdrake. To work around this issue I switched to the radeon driver but I prefer fglrx. So I think this bug should remain open until fglrx is fixed.
I reinstalled Mageia and reinstalled fglrx and it seems to work well now, so I can't reproduce this bug anymore.
