hi guys,
trying to install FC6, but my computer does not boot ... it crashes without reporting an error.
i physically disconeted the SATA hard disk, smartd was disabled, the memorytest (memtest86) pass without errors after one hour running, i have reintalled FC6 using its default partition layout, installation process does not report any error, the 7 CDs set pass all the integrity tests ... but my PC does not start :-(
may somebody help me?
i wonder if it could be a hardware related problem ?
iŽam installing FC6 64 bits, i have a processor intel pentium D 3.4 Gb, the mother board is ASRock 775 i65G, 1 SATA hard disk and 1 IDE hard disk.
i see the GRUB, it asks to choose windows XP or FC6, fedora starts to boot and when the smartd service is trying to start, the computer just sleeps forever.
i used the rescue CD and the comand chkconfig in order to disable the smartd daemon, and now it hangs trying to start the HAL daemon. In my PC, the order is HAL daemon, and the smartd (now disabled)
i wonder if a TV Card could cause a trouble ... i have a generic one.
btw, SMART option as well as teh SATA hard disk arew also disabled in the BIOS.
I am having almost exactly the same problem, but I think it has something to do with the hyper-threading available on the chip. If I boot a non-smp kernel the computer boots fine. If I use the kernel that the installer built for me (looks like SMP because it's initializing 2 CPU's) I get the same problems you're reporting in the same place(s). Has anyone else had any issues/experience with SMP causing problems on boot?
