Hi, I believe I've correctly searched the archives for this answer, but found nothing. Hopefully, someone can point me in the right direction ... I just finished a plain-vanilla install of Core 3. Upon the first reboot, I get to the following point on the screen : Starting udev: [ OK ] Initializing hardware ... storage network audio done [ OK ] Configuring kernel parameters: and at this point it seems to be hung. Pressing <Ctrl><SysRq> results in /etc/init.d/functions: line 428: /etc/rhgb/temp/rhgb-console: Interrupted system call but it still seems hung. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I need to fix/reinstall to get this going? There were no errors during the install, and the only message I note upon booting is ACPI: Unable to locate RSDP The machine is a Dell Dimension XPS D300 (PII 300Mhz) with 128M RAM and one 8Gb harddisk. The install is a fresh "desktop" install (i.e. nothing is being preserved on the old drive and default choices are selected for installation options). FWIW, I've had RH 9 running on this machine before as part of a dual boot system, so the machine is actually capable of working :) Any fixes that people have or that I could be pointed to would be appreciated. And I really apologize if this is covered somewhere and I've missed it. Regards, Matt Considine Doylestown, PA
