Description of problem: When Fedora Core 4 is loading, it starts Udev, the first task is "Initializing Hardware." This passes "storage", "network", and stops on "audio". "Audio" is displayed on the screen, but the "done" never appears. I have waited hours for it, and it never passes this point. The system is locked up. I cannot type or do anything. I have to press the restart button. This happens 9 out of 10 boots. Sometimes it boots fine, with no problems. I have onboard Via audio, as well as a Creative Audigy 2 Value card. I removed the Creative card, and it didn't fix it. I disabled the onboard with the Creatvie card removed, and it didn't fix it. I put in the Creative card with the onboard disabled, and that didn't fix it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 9 out of 10 times, only on my machine (so far) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Fedora 2. Wait 3. Actual results: Expected results: I expect Fedora to boot up correctly. Additional info: AMD Athlon 64, 3500, 939 pin 1 gig Corsair, dual channel Triple booting with XP pro, sp2; XPx64 - stable release; and Fedora core 4, 64 bit. Abit Av8 motherboard, K8T800 Pro Via Chipset Nvidia GEforce FX 5700LE video card Creative Audigy 2 Value soundcard Linux is loaded on a Serial ATA harddrive. This problem also occured on my machine when I was running FC3
