When I boot up into linux kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.x86_64, there is a 2 minute wait before the boot process starts. I see the grub countdown, then a flashing underline character in the same large typeface. This is all that happens for 2 minutes - it looks as though the system has crashed. Then the font changes to a smaller size and everything goes normally. All previous kernels have worked as expected and I generally use the previous one to avoid the wait. I have tried removing rhgb and quiet from the boot file and this does give lots of messages but there is still the same delay before anything starts to happen. The boot log doesn't give any clues. I have just installed the latest updates, including plymouth, and hoped that would make a difference, but no. I have reported this as a bug, so I am hoping it will go away with the next kernel! Has anybody else had similar problems? -- N James Bridge <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
