well, this was the line with my config kernel /vmliniz-2.4.22-1.2115.ntpl | ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi rhgb I tried to change it to kernel /vmliniz-2.4.22-1.2115.ntpl | ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi rhgb confirm but it did not do anything I could hit the i key at the right time (after a lot of trying) i chose to start several services but not firstboot, but then the system hung when 'turing on swap space' (I am using dutch redhat so i do not know if it appears that way in the english version) I would really like to use this distribution, I loved RH9 but I cannot install it on my new pc. grtz Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "jludwig" <wralphie@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mailing-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "For users of Fedora Core releases" <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 3:08 PM Subject: Re: Fedora core 1 install problem > On Wed, 2004-05-05 at 08:47, mailing-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > ok, i can now install fedora C1, but there is another problem, when I start > > the system after the installation I see the services loading, but the system > > hangs when tying to load firstboot... any suggestions? > > > snip > You can go interactive two ways. > > 1) By editing the grub boot and adding the word confirm as below. > > kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl ro root=/dev/hda5 confirm > > 2) By hitting the 'i' key when asked if you want interactive mode > > The first is far easier on a fast machine. > > 3) It will then ask if you want to start a bunch of stuff (including > first boot). > -- > jludwig <wralphie@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > > >
