I am having a boot problem on my work station with any of the Fedora-12 update kernels. The hardware appears to lock up with no response possible from the keyboard. They all fail by hanging at the "Starting udev:" line during the boot process. The original installed kernel (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP) boots and works just fine. I am not new at using Linux, but this is the first time that I have encountered this type of problem and I am unsure where I need to start and what tools I need to use to resolve the problem. Any pointers would be helpful. This is a home build system using a Tyan Thunder K8WE (S2895) motherboard with one processor and four gig of memory, and has an array of disks using SCSI (primary partitions), SATA and IDE interfaces. Software RAID and LVM are used to organize the disk partitions and file systems. This system is about five years old and has never had any hardware problems except for disk and fan failures. 73, Bill ---- William M.
