Could you try booting without the 'quiet rhgb' options and write down exactly where the kernel hangs at bootup ? In order to do this, press 'e' in the grub menu, edit the kernel line and remove the 'rghb quiet' boot options, replacing them with 'debug'. Also, could you please verify that the bug still happens with the latest kernel from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/ ? thank you, Rik With 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 I get the following: Booting command-list root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 ro root=/dev/md0 debug [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x14aca6] initrd /initrd-2.6.7-1.494.2.2.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x1ffb0000, 0x2ff66 bytes] I Never even see "uncompressing linux..." and with 2.6.8-1.520: Booting command-list root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-1.520 ro root=/dev/md0 debug [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x14b482] initrd /initrd-2.6.8-1.520.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x1ffaf000, 0x3047e bytes] And thats all, 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 works just fine. mass update for old bugs: Is this still a problem in the 2.6.9 based kernel update ?

I get the usual grub messages eg: root blah blah blah [blah blah blah] kernel blah blah blah [blah blah blah] initrd blah blah blah [blah blah blah] And thats it. I don't even see "Uncompressing" My configuration: /dev/hda: 40gb MAXTOR 6L040J2 drive w/ a /boot partition(hda1) and a windows partition(hda2) /dev/hdc: cd burner (LITE-ON LTR-24102B) /dev/hde and /dev/hdg are on the promise "RAID" controller builtin to my motherboard, but the BIOS is set to NOT configure the chip (PDC2076 iirc) as a RAID, but instead as a normal IDE interface. the two drives are both Seagate 300gb (ST3200822A) drives setup as a software striped raid array(md0) that contain / CPU: Athlon XP 2200+ RAM: 512MB MOBO: gigabyte ga7-vaxp (via kt400 chipset) VIDEO: PNY nvidia geforce3 ti 200 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 2. Reboot 3. Select 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 from grub menu 4. Stare at mostly black screen Actual Results: Nothing Expected Results: Actual booting Additional info:
