You could try to let us know what kind of error message you get (i.e. the exact wording). ;-) My guess (out of the blue) is that kernel and modules are now out of sync. This happens when you restore the modules from backup but use a newer kernel (or vice-versa). If you restore stuff from backup, make sure you don't restore anything under your freshly (re-)installed /boot. Or make sure you restore *everything* into /boot, and not just some parts of it. /boot has to be consistent; either everything from the new install, or everything from the backup up install, but not a mix of both. As others pointed out, you need to provide more detailed infos about your backup and restore procedure. It it impossible to guess correctly what you have done otherwise. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
