Fedora Core 3 Hangs Up When Initializing Hardware


I just installed FC3 with no problems. However when I boot it hangs up at 'Initializing Hardware...' specifically when it hits my audio hardware. What are possible causes for this? Anyway to boot without initializing my audio card?

hangs at boot

hello trosario

Just installed FC3 on a sony laptop here and had the same problem.

Got around it by doing the Interactive start-up thing.

On mine, at the question about the "run firstboot" or something about first boot, I entered N.

That got the system booted. From there I went into the services thing and turned off the
firstboot.

As you may be thinking, I am not a Fedora guru. I just load other distros to see how they are.
My prime attraction is to Slackware, which I really enjoy.

By the way, I am pleased with the crisp feel of FC3.

Good Luck.
