Re: Linux doesn't boot up - Firewire issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I found the REAL issue.  IEEE 1394 Firewire.
Linux doesn't like this.  


Does anyone have a clue how to get Linux to recognize
a firewire controller?

Thanks
Nancy




----------------------
There was a spelling error in my email (the GRUB
command is correct - kernel)

Thanks for the suggestion on init 3.  The error is in
the firewall.  I attempted to add nofirewall as a
kernel parameter... but didn't work.  Aside from
reinstalling without a firewall, is there any way to
bypass this initialization?

Thanks again 
Nancy


At the grub menu screen hit e before it starts
booting.
Use move down to the line kernel
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.22115.ntpl ro
root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi rhgb
remove rhgb 
Adding init 3 will put you in command mode (not X).
Then you will hopefully see what is hanging.
