Hello, I am a Fedora newbie, although I have used other flavors of unix for a number of years. I have just downloaded and installed FC3 32-bit 2.5.9-1.667. I checked the media before the install and it passed. The installation experience was nice/easy and all seemed to go as expected. At the end of the installation process, I was prompted to eject the cd and click a button to reboot. I did this and the machine hung on startup. After waiting for 10 minutes or so, I rebooted again (and several more times) and it always hangs in the same place. This machine is an old Aptiva with a Pentium 350 with 128M RAM. I checked the hardware just before installing Fedora core by booting the existing Windows 98 OS that was installed on it. Win98 came up just fine. It is not dual boot - blew away *everything* on the hard drive to install one new partition with Fedora core only. Below are the messages shown on the screen at boot time: --- snip --- Booting 'Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet [Linux-bzImage, setup=0z1400, size=0x155da5] initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img [Linux-initrd@0x7ef3000, 0xecfed bytes] --- snip --- The above is all that is shown on the screen when the boot process hangs. If anyone has any suggestions on what I might want to do or check, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks much, Ned
