I have an FC3 system that hangs about 70% of the time on a boot while still processing the rc.sysinit. In particular it appears as if the loadkeys executable just never returns. I do know that loadkeys comes from the kbd RPM package, but can't figure out what would make it hang. The boot screen will stop with something like, Configuring kernel parameters: ...... OK Setting clock (utc): ..... OK Loading default keymap (us): And then nothing works or ever show progress. When it does sporadically get past that part of the boot the system operates perfectly. I don't know if this matters, but I do have a USB keyboard and USB mouse, both Logitech. Everything was installed with the English locale as defaults. The keyboard works just fine both within the BIOS screens, as well as within the grub boot screens. This is an AMD Athlon 800MHz on a Asus K7V motherboard, latest BIOS (rev 1007). Is there anything I can do to help get more diagnostic information? (or fix this?) -- Deron Meranda
