Hi,

I have a boot freeze on a PC Compaq Presario with ubuntu 9.10. The original motherboard was replaced with an ASROCK and it's programmed to power up every day at 7:30 AM. I have installed Apache, Samba and PHP and the system is updated. The freeze at boot happens randomly. I have nothing in /var/log/messages, when I hit CTRL+F1 to read boot messages it stops when it says: Stopping NTP, Starting NTP. Hitting CTRL+C or CTRL+D doesn't work. I have to restart with the button on the case or with CTRL+ALT+CANC.

Please help, I don't know what to do. Any other info you need just ask.
