I don't think it's the optical drive getting it stuck, but I could be wrong. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Previously it wasn't, but now I can see them after it says 'waiting for hardware to initialize...'. It's going through ata1.00, ata1.01, ata3.00, and ata3.01 - which accounts for the four hard drives, and then it lists the CD-ROM. But it still dies at the same exact spot after detecting the CD-ROM ... For the record, I previously tried without the add-on card plugged in and it too went nowhere. So there is something either with the CD-ROM or just after it that causing it to hang. And when I say hang, I'm talking complete lock up. NUM key doesn't do anything, the machine is a brick. Only recovery is to hold the power button till it shuts off. By the way, when booting CentOS, it also displays that 'waiting for hardware to initialize...' however it sits there for a mere 5 seconds then moves on and boots normally. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

It has a suggestion, under Crashes/Hangs, # initcall_debug will allow to see the last thing the kernel tried to initialise before it hung. I have the impression, from what is said, the kernel is hanging trying to initialize something. Perhaps this parameter will help give us a hint. Well now this is interesting. The very last line just after the CD-ROM part, and also where it hangs, is: sdd: Which indicates one of the drives, and in this particular case, it would be the main drive (primary bus, master) based on the specs it's listing a few lines above. So a) why is it being listed as sdd and not sda? b) why is it hanging? The CD-ROM is being listed as sdc ... So what happened to sda and sdb? When I boot into CentOS, it correctly sees sda and sdb for the primary drive and CD-ROM, then it moves to sde, sdf, and sdg (which are all on the add-on card). Is it possible that Fedora 14 is somehow reading the add-on card first and assigning sda and sdb to two of the drives there? And if so, then why is it ignoring the 3rd drive that's also on the add-on? I should point out that I have tried various other drives as the primary boot drive when I first started experiencing these lock ups, before I starting posting to the list. So I'm fairly certain it's not the drive itself (otherwise the other 4 that I tried would also be defective, and 2 of those were brand new out of the box.) At this point, I'm inclined to just keep it as is, with CentOS. The machine's been off the net for 24 hours now and I have to get it back into production. So unless someone has a eureka moment, or a burst of bright ideas, I'm going to continue configuring the machine with CentOS and have it in production by Monday. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
