I bet this is USB related and if it is I ran into this exact same problem yesterday. Does booting with the nousb parameter help? Don't know. Haven't tried. But I will add the parameter and follow up. Thanks for the lead. What I can't determine is if audio loaded correctly and it is the next module that is causing the hang. I just don't know what comes after audio to be able to know what to disable. Does anyone know if there is a link that shows kernel options that might be useful in debugging this problem? Really appreciate the response, Sitsofe. Don't know. Haven't tried. But I will add the parameter and follow up. Thanks for the lead.

I had disabled Legacy USB support in the BIOS without luck. I am wondering if the hangup is the ATI video card since it allows for two monitors. Possibly FC3 is having trouble differentiating LCD vs. VGA out. Found this on the web today, do you think this might help? IF so, is there a way to get the update when the computer won't yet recognize the ip hardware etc? Thanks again. http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/117924 * Thu Jan 13 2005 Dave Jones - Update to 2.6.10-ac9 - Fix slab corruption in ACPI video code.

When grub first starts press e and edit the kernel line. Add nousb to the end, press return and then boot. Disabling legacy USB isn't quite the same as totally disabling USB (although maybe your BIOS will let you do the later too). Thanks for the suggestion re: GRUB kernel line modification using "nousb" but that doesn't seem to affect the computer one way or another. I'm really baffled. Keyboard registers "I" for interactive mode but yet, the boot never allows it. I'm beginning to think there is some hardware conflict. I've confirmed the hardware compatibilty for my equipment and all parts on the Inspiron are considered "compatible" with FC3 including the ESS maestro 3. Really frustrating. Thanks for the suggestions. An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you. |

Have tried various suggestions such as editing kernel with acpi=off and deleting rghb and quiet replacing with 3, etc. Interactive prompt still not available when hitting I (at any point from boot) and system always hangs after ...audio. Can boot linux rescue to command prompt but only if I skip eth0 (hangs there, too) Hardware is Dell Inspiron 8000 with A21 BIOS, ATI graphics, ESS Maestro audio. BIOS does not allow for disabling audio nor can the audio card be removed as this is an integrated laptop. I am grateful for any help at this point as I haven't even been able to boot the OS for the first time (other than install and rescue modes). Thanks in advance Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Turn on computer 2.Frantically type "I" over and over again with no results 3.Wait for system to hang after ...audio... Actual Results: Nothing Expected Results: Should not hang Additional info:
