Well, an obvious starting point is to edit the kernel parameters at boot time (for example, when booting a Fedora live CD), and remove “quiet” and “rhgb” from the kernel parameters. With the Fedora live CD, press any key to get at the boot menu (when it says “Automatic boot in n seconds”), and then “tab” to edit the “Boot” kernel options. And then see where the boot process stops. More advanced debugging methods involve setting up a serial console. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realise aprilcottage.co.uk | that you are in a hurry. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
