FC5 on Toshiba Tecra A6 (hangs when booting at udev)

[Simon]

Hi There,

Sorry - my last post was a little vauge before... There is a bit more info:

I have installed FC5 on my Tecra A6 laptop, everything installed
correctly, but on boot - it first sets the clock, then stalls at
'udev'. After doing some digging in this forum, i have tried various
things but am still having problems. I have changed the default value
of udev_log from "err" to "info" in /etc/udev/udev.conf. This now
shows where udev gets, which is:

udevd_event[1004]: udev_event_run: seq 582 finished

If i add "noacpi MEM=512M" to the linux kernel line in grub, then it hangs here:

udevd_event[960]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' returned with status 0
udevd_event[960]: pass_env_to_socket: passed -1 bytes to socket
'/org/kernel/udev/monitor'

(I have have tryed commenting out "ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="?*",
ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}"" from the
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rule file as suggested elsewhere in this
forum)

Note: This laptop has a ATI Raedon card and a Intel Core Duo processor.

Any help/suggestions are most appreciated.

Regards, Simon
