[driverloader] linux does not start

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

please boot in single user mode. You can generally do that by adding the 
keyword 'single' without the quotes to the end of the kernel command 
line. You can also edit the kernel command line while you are in the 
boot loader.

After booting in single user mode, you can remove the DriverLoader 
package with the 'dldrconfig --uninstall' command. Then, you should be 
able to normally boot your machine if DriverLoader was the actual source 
of the problem.

Then, you should try with different versions of the Windows XP driver to 
see if there is a difference. Please also note that DriverLoader 2.30 
doesn't have support for WPA2, only WPA (1). We hope to add WPA2 support 
to DriverLoader in the future.

Regards,
