latest kernel 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 x86_64 starts with udev OK then brings up message about unable to open/read? /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2080_FC5/modules.dep. It then boots through without loading any drivers to firstboot screen, of course without keyboard or mouse loaded so I can't get to vt1. booting into runlevel 1 leaves me without keyboard. I suspect it is not mounting the (shuttle SN25P SATA nforce4) / partition but without any error logging cos there is nothing in messages... how can I track the problem? BTW kernel 2069 from testing that I tried yesterday has same fault. fstab is bog standard...
