- Dell Precison 530 with

- 1GB RDRam

any options - text nousb, nofb etc - causes it to hang
after /sbin/loader init.

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2005-04-16 05:39:40 UTC
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be
provided by Red Hat.  The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel
updates for security problems only.

If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please
try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the
product version accordingly.

Thank you.
