Cannot boot after installing new motherboard


Hi! I have Fedora Core 6 installed on an old IDE harddrive. Recently, I upgrade the system with new CPU, motherboard and RAM. After that the system won't boot properly. Here is what happened:

grub loaded fine.
kernel booted fine.
while udev, a lot of error messages appeared, I can only read the last one: "/etc/rc.d/sysincit: line 923: /bin/usleep: Input/Output error"
system freezed

If I leave the system off for a while (e.g. the next day), the system will boot fine with only some minor problems in the network card which can be fixed after I logged in.

Can anyone give me some help? Thanks.

Welcome to LQ!

I'm not a Fedora or GrUB user, but you probably need a new kernel to match your new hardware.
