Hi,
I installed FC3 AMD64 on a new machine with relatively little problems.
I did need to add NOPROBE to the install boot prompt and manually add
hardware but otherwise all was well.
On reboot though things freeze after:
Initializing hardware... storage network audio
Looking at the list archives I see references to issues with rhgb, udev
and video mode. So I've tried:
1. Removing 'rhgb quiet' from the kernel command line
2. Forcing a boot into run level 3, both by adding '3' to the command line
but also by changing inittab after doing a rescue boot to get at the
filesystem
3. Verified udev_logging=no is set in /etc/udev/udev.conf
4. Just for kicks I did a rescue boot from the DVD, chroot'ed into the
environment and ran up2date. This pulled down a host of updated packages
including a new rhgb, udev and kernel.
None of this has worked and I'm at a bit of a loss. The machine is a dual
boot with WinXP which works fine. I also just tried the new SuSE Live CD
which boots happily and sees all the hardware.
Machine is:
MSI K8N Nforce3 250gb socket 754 mobo
Athlon64 3400+
512Mb Crucial PC3200 RAM in 1 stick
Asus FX5700 128Mb graphics card
200Gb WD SATA drive
IDE DVD burner
Any pointers much appreciated.
Garry
