When you boot in rescue mode, can you edit rc.sysinit so the first line is: #!/bin/bash -x Then, where does it hang?

Mass update of -test bugs to update version to fc4. (Please retest on final release, and report results if you have not already done so). Thanks.
When the FC4 was released, I did try to install and close this issue. I have not been able to get a working install on this system. The system does now boot after the install, but is still unusable. I still get Segmentation faults when running yum, rpm and perl. I have entered another issue, but (personally) believe they may still be related. I have no facts to back up my claim. So technically this case could be closed. Reff to new bugzilla case: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=160541
ok, we'll track the segfaults in the other bug. As the hang is fixed, I'll close this one out. thanks
