Hello Thom,

many thanks for your sulution - it worked.

At the first boot after hitting ESC and using "safe-mode" the system
hanged with this message:
hda_codec: Unknown Model fpr ALC882 trying to auto-brobe from bios.

After wating for more than 5 Minutes, I pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL and got an
windows where I could choose "root".
But my whole filesystem war read-only, so I couldn't change the
blacklist - file.

After a reboot (also in safe mode) there was no hanging of the system, I
could choose "root" and apply the changes.

Once again - many thanks for your kind help.

Greetings from Osnabruck to the Netherlands
Kai
