Hello there ! I think I've found a bug & workaround for it. First of all i've made out-of the box installation of RH 7.0 CDs. All left by default - default server setup( about 3 times clicked "Next" & entered root password - that's all, there's nothing could be done wrong) When it's booted - it locks right after "Enabling swap space : [OK]" Looking through rs.sysinit & commenting lines i've found that when i comment out this strings - #if grep "driver: agpgart" /etc/sysconfig/hwconf >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then # modprobe agpgart >/dev/null 2>&1 #fi Everything goes OK. here's the strings from my "hwconfig" that I think is causing all troubles. ------------- class: OTHER bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: agpgart desc: "Intel Corporation|440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX Host bridge" vendorId: 8086 deviceId: 7190 subVendorId: 0000 subDeviceId: 0000 pciType: 1 -------------- And yes - "modprobe agpgart" is the pain in the ass - it lock's up the server. I also must notice that without this module all works OK. X windows are running very well. I'll be awaiting response from you. Bye for now.
