FC5 not booting on Toshiba laptop

Hi

I installed Fedora Core 5 on my Toshiba Tecra A7 laptop (centrino dual-core, sata HD, ATI x1600 video card).
Install went fine, however when booting it will show:

Boot 'Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
root(hd0,5)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
[Linux-bzimage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x16eb71]
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.16-1.2054_FC5.img­
[Linux-initrd 0 0x1fd56000, 0xf9a47 bytes]

Decompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
ide0: I/O resource 0x1F8-0x1F7 not free
ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe
Red Hat mash version 5.0.32 starting
INIT: version 2.86 booting

Welcome to Fedora Core
Press 'I' to enter interactive startup
Setting clock (localtime): Wed [snip]
Starting udev:

Then it hangs there.

I can boot fine from the DVD in recovery mode, even performed a yum update etc...
I was running FC4 on this laptop before. Priori to installing FC5 I wiped out the hard-drive

As a side comment, FC4 would also hangs during boot when it was starting the PCMCIA service, I had to disable /etc/init.d/pcmcia (using /sbin/chkconfig pcmcia off) for FC4 to boot properly.
I do not know that this is a related issue as there's no pcmcia scripts and it hangs with FC5 much sooner. Unless PCMCIA detection has been moved in udev?

Any ideas?
Thanks
JY
