I have the follinig problem, After a fresh install of core 3 on a Dual PII system, the system hangs at the longin srceen. Then i can press Ctrl + alt + del and nothing happens. There is alsow now response to pings.
These Problem happens with both kernels (normal and smp)
I hope someone can help me.
There is an issue regarding rhgb and the combination of programs on the installation disc(s). You might need to edit the bootloader and remove rhgb quiet from the menu that you get when booting up. Basically, you highlight your desired kernel from the menu. You then press e to get into the edit mode. you then move down to the second line of the boot information. You need to hit e again to edit this line. Remove rhgb quiet from the second line. Press enter, then b. The b command will boot your computer with the edited out options and you will not see the graphical boot and also more of the messages that the boot process hides from the default user eyes.
Update your system with the latest upgrades from the repositories. When you reboot again, things should work. This is my guess from your description of the boot hang.
