I have a Gateway 7200 serer that I wan to install RH7 on. The Redhat 7 install finishes with no problem, but when the systems reboots I have a problem. The systems hangs right after you see "Enabling swap space [OK]" After that all there is on the next line is a blinking cursor. A more curious thing is that I can install RH6.0 then upgrade to 7. It will sucsessfully boot once and detect my second NIC and a USB controller then if I immeadiately reboot and make NO changes it will show the hanging behavior as if I had just install RH7. Solutions I have tried: Starting with "linux nousb". Same behavior. System Specs: 1 Pentium 2 450mhz Supports 2 but only one installed. 256MB of ram Adaptec 2890 SCSI adapter. 2 8GB seagate SCSI Harddrives 1 SCSI DAT drive Built in Intel Etherexpress pro 3com 509c PCI
This isn't really a kernel bug I found that its related to Kudzu. After checking my /var/log/boot.log I found that my system boots kudzu after swap file. BTW my boot.log will not update unless I sucsessfully boot. Well I decided to delete the /etc/sysconfig/hwconf file. I found that my system will now boot. Any idea why deleting this files allows kudzu to work? I have an option to tuen on PNP os in my bios I disabled PNP since I know linux wasn't PNP compatible. If I enable PNP in bios would that allow Kudzu to detect my hardware correctly? If not is there a way to remove kudzu?
