I have seen one more such report; for that person it helped to pass the "nomxt" option on the kernel command line. In grub this is done by adding this to the "vmlinuz" line in /boot/grub/grub.conf or directly on the boot prompt by typing "e" and then editing the second line. Ok I tried this - it seemed (oddly) to have no effect at all - hangs at same point. To confirm I did this correctly heres the grub.conf line: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-31 ro root=/dev/hda2 nomxt gene fixed in current errata kernels |
