From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1 Description of problem: I am not sure this is related to HAL or kernel or network or all the previous. I have a Dell D600 laptop with a docking bay. Sometimes (random), I get lockups when starting in Linux mode (not on win xp though). It usually crashes at Starting network or at HAL in the initscripts. When it crashes at starting network, I only can turn it off and back on again the hard way. When it stops at HAL, i can shutdown it down soft by pressing the off button which triggers a shutdown. I am using acpi speedstep mode in the latest fc3 kernel. Could it be the problem? My question is: how can I get more info for debugging when this happens? Thanks Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: At Startup, the laptop could be docked: stops at HAL the laptop not docked: stops before at network starup???? This is obersvation not a full truth.... Actual Results: System hangs in there not doing anything Additional info:
Try updating to the latest hal packages in FC3 updates - I'm very sure this is already fixed, otherwise feel free to reopen this bug.

It's nothing, it actually has to do with rhgb. I can always reproduce it and it will always stop at the end, just before it goes to gdm. I thought it was hal because it was the last thing. I can always boot if I go in telinit 1 then exit (so no rhgb is called then)
