Description of Problem: After the install, the start up freezes on "checking for new hardware". This is caused because it can not recognize the ethernet card. Tried to re-install the ifconfig package but that did not work even after intall. Won't even loop back when trying to send info. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Ethernet card- Netgear FA311 How Reproducible: Tyan System board with a 750mhz AMD processor. Netgear FA311 ethernet card. System running Grub. C: drive running Windows XP(works fine) and D: running Red Hat 7.2. (does not even start up but will if you don't allow it to look for the ethernet card). Cable modem is also running. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Linux 2.Start Up 3.Stalls on 'Checking for new hardware' Actual Results:check above Expected Results: To get the ethernet card loaded properly because this is a very popular ethernet card and to get this machine online. Additional Information: Please email me asap with a fix to this.
This has nothing to do with the internet-config package, reassigning to kudzu (which is what is running when it says "Checking for new hardware").
What happens if you disable the kudzu service, but run 'kudzu -p' after booting?
