Hello: I am getting frequent hangs when FC2 tries to start the graphical progress screen. This does not happen all the time, but if I set the machine to runlevel 3, I have no problems at all. I can even run startx from the command line after logging in and have no problems. The machine has a SuperMicro P4SGE motherboard. You can see more details at: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/P4/845/P4SGE.cfm Any ideas on how to diagnose this? I can replicate it fairly often.
