first, i cant browse /mnt at all, anything i browse it with locks up. looking into hda7 for example from the desktop causes a problem, but trying to look diretly into /mnt things freeze and i have to reboot (unless someone can tell me how to kill X and whatever else while starting at it
Not sure exactly what you mean when you say "trying to look directly into /mnt" but have you done cd /mnt? Are you using KDE?
i can browse /mnt from a terminal and do ls and see whats in it, but when i use anything graphical to browse, /mnt *always* freezes me. the mouse still moves, but nothing responds at all. Yes, im using KDE
