Hi

An update. I removed both pcmcia cards (XIRCOM 10/100 & Kingmax 56k FAX/MODEM), rebooted (actually reset). When I booted again, linux came up fine as before; but I could now logout as user and get back to the graphical login KDE2 screen. I can also shutdown successfully.

I haven't tried to use the pcmcia cards again as yet. I shall try that next week.
