Dear Eberhard,
Is a grug command like read/writable? Would it work?

I booted using the normal boot process; when it got to a certain point
the application stopped at a point where it said Yesua login: I
attempted to follow your instruction at that point, ant it returned the
same inability to read/write. It has been that way for quite some time
and failed to continue.
The Alt+F2 login produced the same inability to read/write.

If I did this, I did not realize it. Just so I understand, what did I
do that was a "halfway new" repair install?

I have a lot of posts showing right now, but none that refer to my
problem other than one more of yours. Is my post worded in a way that
will invite a genius? If not, how would you post my problem to get a
response? And thanks, my friend; as always you are there for me to give
me your best help.
Do you have any idea what might have happened to cause this problem. It
happened immediately after booting up yesterday. I was not doing
anything that could be considered a change to my system. It worked
beautifully the day before too. I did not notice a blink of my room
lights or anything that would have relationship to a power surge.
Since removing the video card did not seem to improve anything, and
since the picture you referred me to showed the exact same appearance
with the one shorter pin, apparently the card pins are undamaged, should
I reinstall the video card before continuing, so that if I do install
the new Jaunty, it will probably preinstall the drivers for the video
card? If you are still in Intrepid, many changes have taken place in
Jaunty regarding matters like this. Jaunty does almost everything
automatically.
When I installed the default BIOS as instructed while attempting to
repair this problem, did I return to the BIOS that was preinstalled on
the motherboard or to the BIOS that I flashed after installing the
motherboard? If I am with the pre-installation default BIOS right now,
how do I change back to the Flashed BIOS. The BIOS I flashed was the
correct BIOS for my system. I only relented to the default BIOS to get
the system working more again.
Do you know if the final release has been posted for Jaunty? I already
have a copy of Jaunty that I made while in Beta. Should I use that when
I reinstall Jaunty, if I can get no more help, or if there is a final
release, should I download it and install the final. I hate to just
download what I already have. If ever you feel I am rushing you with
requests for help, I am not. The several emails that I sent were to
show you the things I tried and failed with to reduce options for
consideration and not an attempt to rush you. I am grateful for the
help, however it comes, and never mean to rush your kindness. Thanks
again, friend.
Steven
