Do you have SELinux enabled, and does it work if you boot with enforcing=0 or selinux=0?
I'm having the same problem on my Pentium III 800 MHz system. I'll try enforcing=0 in a moment: grub.conf: title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1284_FC4) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1284_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/12 quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1284_FC4.img lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82815 815 Chipset Host Bridge and Memory Controller Hub (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82815 815 Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801BA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801BA IDE U100 (rev 02) 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #1) (rev 02) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM SMBus (rev 02) 00:1f.4 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #2) (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio (rev 02) 01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller (rev 01) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS
It boots with enforcing=0. I still see Starting udev: MAKEDEV: mkdir: File exists [ OK ] Initializing hardware... but it continues ahead instead of hanging. But going back to the hanging system - the keyboard is still active; I can turn the NumLock LED on and off. But Ctrl-Alt-Delete doesn't work at this point.

I'm pretty new to Linux. How would I boot enforcing=0.
(In reply to comment #5) > I'm pretty new to Linux. How would I boot enforcing=0. Just modify the kernel arguments at startup. When grub comes up, select the OS to boot and hit "a", then make the kernel line something like this; kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1284_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/12 enforcing=0 quiet
