Description of problem: When, after installing Fedora 15, I reboot my machine and choose the default installed grub option, the boot process then begins but eventually stops/hangs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 (both DVD release and with updates applied) How reproducible: It is probably related to my specific hardware configuration, which is relatively new: Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) Quad-Core ASUS Sabertooth P67 B3 revision Marvell PCIe SATA 6.0 Gb/s controller JMicron JMB 362 SATA Controller ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 8192MB DDR3 Dual Channel 1333MHz (PC3-10600) Western Digital Caviar Blue 1000GB, SATA 6Gb/s (WD10EALX) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install from DVD 2. Reboot/boot computer Actual results: Boot process hangs Additional info: When the default boot process is called via a modified (from grub interface) command line without the "quiet" option, the system successfully boots. After installing the current updates, the following line/kernel is added to grub: Fedora (2.6.38.8-35.fc15.x86_64). Using this kernel I have not been able to successfully boot the system. The progress bar on the bottom of the screen completes but after that, the system seems to hang (ie: booting sequence never completes).
similar problem Kernel = 2.6.40.4.5.fc15.i686.PAE mobo= M3N78 8gB RAM video ASUS EN210 Silent --- First boot hangs: - Welcome (OK) - License (OK) - Create user - advanced xxx UID=500, GID=500 (OK) - set time (hang) - reboot = no BIOS. must must pull power from supply for ~15 minutes before BIOS becomes accessible. Works on FC14 with nouveau - can figure out other component versions because can't login. Update repos used as of 10.Sep.2011.
Are you still seeing this problem with the 2.6.41.x updates?
