Fedora Core 1 on Compaq M700 1GHz - Yenta hangs boot

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

 



Hi all,

I've had Fedora Core 1 running successfully on my Compaq M700 1000MHz laptop since March. I've had trouble with the ACPI power management going to sleep where I had no way to wake it up. The last time I did a hardware reboot because I had no other options and it would no longer boot.

I get a message that the system has been uncleanly shut down and hit the "Y" to let it fsck the disk. All goes well though mounting /swap until this message comes up twice:





Yenta IRQ
list 06b8 PCI irq 11
Socket status: 30000006

Yenta IRQ
list 06b8 PCI irq 11
Socket status: 30000006



After that message is shown the disk has occasional activity but it never completes booting.

Is this a sign that he disk is throughly corrupt?

I can't quite figure out a way to change the Grub boot options to get to the disk. I have pressed the "I" to get Interactive options but it doesn't seem to have an effect. I guess I have to boot to a CD and poke around, which I can do. Should I comment out the Yenta driver?

It boots to WinXP fine so I know a don't have a disk hardware problem.

I'd appreciate any advice.

--Mike
