Description of problem: Clean install of FC5 (via DVD, but CD install does the same), on the very first boot after the install process, the system stops at Starting udev:_ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The version of udev found on the install media. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install FC5 2. reboot when asked 3. system hangs Actual results: System hangs Expected results: For the system to boot Additional info: This is a new bug report, based on Harald's request for a seperate bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186164#c50 All suggested work arounds _do not_ work in this case. disabling selinux at boot, doesn't work disabling acpi at boot doesn't work disabling pci at boot, doesn't work booting into single, doesn't work I uninstalled pcmciautils, no change I updated the kernel, no change I have found that by installing the udev package from FC4, I can get a bootable system. I don't have any working sound if I do this. I have already attached a sysreport to the before mentioned bug, so I wont reattach it here unless asked. It would be really good if we can find a solution.
I disabled all onboard devices and removed all PCI cards. Adding them back one by one etc etc etc Turns out that my Sound Blaster Live card and my onboard SIS audio do not want to play nicely in FC5. I have removed my Sound Blaster card and all is well.
Hrmm.. Noticed that this was still open, its nott a bug, so I will close it :)
