Hi Roger... Various people reported something similar when installing onto a Dell Optiplex 320 desktop. Does the laptop have sata drives? The reason you get the rescue-cd to load/install, is that the entire OS is on the cd. I'm assuming that you managed to actually go through, and install F8 on the laptop, but that you now cannot boot the laptop without it hanging on the UDEV step... -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Roger Grosswiler Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2007 11:44 PM To: gilboad@xxxxxxxxx Cc: For users of Fedora Subject: RE: Boot hangs at UDEV > On Fri, 2007-11-09 at 19:20 +1030, John Arthur wrote: >> > >> > After having installed F8 last night, I finally got my reboot ;) >> > >> > surprise, surprise, everything booting, grub coming up, nash >> > and so on, LVM recognizing partitions, next step would be >> > starting UDEV... >> > >> > waiting, drinking coffee, no UDEV, waiting one hour >> > patiently...still waiting. >> > >> > Finally i gave up last night. >> > >> > What can this be?
