There's no other text after that ? Hmm. Can you try adding 'edd=off' to the boot command line? (Also remove the 'quiet' if its present) (In reply to comment #1) > There's no other text after that ? Hmm. > > Can you try adding 'edd=off' to the boot command line? (Also remove the 'quiet' > if its present) Thanks for the reply. Nope, no text after that. I removed "quiet" and still no text. Even after adding "edd=off", nothing. It may be important to note that in order for it boot up from the disc, I have to append "clocksource=acpi_pm"...but at least it boots up. Without the disc, however, it just sits there. (In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > When I boot with the disc in the computer, Fedora boots up just fine.

It's actually funny you should say that because I left it over night :) Came into work the next morning to the same screen. Do you have any idea what is on the disc that would allow it to boot with no problems? It will probably work if you leave any valid, readable disc in the drive. Hmmm, I should try that. But I'm still at a loss as to what could make it hang without any disc in the drive. Some other things to try: Boot without a disc and the insert one after it locks up. Just try opening and closing the tray when it locks.

Ok, after trying all of the above suggestions (and many more) I was still unable to get Fedora to boot without the disc in the drive. Therefore, I asked for and received permission from my boss to build a custom system and toss that Dell Optiplex to the side (for one of the new hires, of course). Now, Fedora boots up and runs like a dream. I am sorry I had to sort of "give up" like this, but because this is my work PC, I couldn't afford to waste too much time troubleshooting. Thank you all for your help and suggestions and if I have the time in the future, I'll try and investigate the cause of this issue further. |
