Ok, so after turning swap, it tries to find module dependencies. It seems likely that whatever version of whatever modules are being loaded there is causing the system to hang. Maybe try booting into rescue mode from the cd ("linux rescue" at the prompt), and using insmod or modprobe to insert each of the kernel modules one by one. There should be a list of what you're using or trying to use in /etc/modules.conf. FC2 has updated drivers/kernels/etc so it is likely that it was a known issue which has since been fixed.

After the first reboot, the system stops booting at "Modulabhängigkeiten bestimmen" after activating swap. The system freezes and I have to power off the server. For a test I Installed FC2 - ther is no boot problem. any ideas? regards götz reinicke -- Götz Reinicke IT Koordinator - IT OfficeNet Tel. +49 (0) 7141 - 969 420 Fax +49 (0) 7141 - 969 55 420 goetz.reinicke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg Mathildenstr. 20 71638 Ludwigsburg www.filmakademie.de -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
