After having made a test installation of FC3 onto a spare partition (everything went fine, nvidia worked,...) I decided to make an update of my work machine instead of performing a fresh installation and migrate my configuration.
Update itself without problems. But booting into the updated system it is hanging at the message "configuring kernel parameters" (just after "inititalising hardware ....OK").
Does someone know how to get it to work?
"Initializing hardware" is not a familiar message to me. There is a message "Checking for new hardware" that pops up right before kudzu runs.
A new version of kudzu falling to pieces, would not be a surprise. Happened before. Will happen again.
Generally, if the kernel boots into userspace fine, and mounts root, but then gets stuck, kudzu is the culprit 90% of the time.
Try booting into run level S, by editing the kernel boot line in grub.
You should get a shell prompt. Then 'service kudzu off', and 'init 6'. See what happens.
