Re: Boot hangs after fresh install

[Ned Voorhees <ned voorhees gmail com>]

Thanks very much Dave.  

I was able to remove the "quiet" as you suggested.  The boot process
messages look good up until I see the message "Configuring kernel
parameters:" on a line by itself.  That is the last message that I see
when it hangs.  I can hit return and see line feeds at this point, but
nothing else seems to be going on (no hard drive activity, etc.).

Any further thoughts or suggestions (Dave or anyone else)?

Thanks for your help,
Ned
