Re: SL 5.4 freeze on 1st boot when "setting hostname"
Final update, after a very productive exchange via the redhat bug tracking system, it turned out my BIOS was causing the problem. Flashed the latest version an d voila it works like a charm. (Samsung Q45 BIOS ST7 to version ST11) Before that I could get it to boot with kernel options pci=nomsi acpi= off before the crashkernel and rhgb quiet removed. Maybe someone will find this useful in the future and won't have to feel as stupid as I do at the moment for not catching something as easy as this. regards, Matt
Re: SL 5.4 freeze on 1st boot when "setting hostname"
Update: I just tried booting the 5.3 Live CD, which also fails at the same point, so I assume it's a general hardware/driver issue.
SL 5.4 freeze on 1st boot when "setting hostname"
SL 5.4 Kernel 2.6.18-164.2.1.e15 x86_64 Samsung Q45 Hello! I've managed to install SL 5.4 from DVDs but cannot boot into the system. The boot sequence freezes when reaching or shortly after "setting hostname [OK]". I've tried booting with nousb set and rhgb disabled, to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks! _ Looking for a date?
