Fedora core 3 HAL locking up the system load

UrbanDEV · 01-08-2005, 02:22 AM

i edited etc/inittab so it would not load X on boot (I think) by adding a # infront of the last line (the one about X runlevel 5) now when fedora boots up it stalls on "Starting HAL Daemon" and does absolutley nothing...any suggestions?

You also need line read in /etc/inittab

from:

id:3:initdefault:

To:

id:5:initdefault:

Hope this helps

You can change the runlevel at boot time. Check here for the applicable instructions. It depends on the bootloader you use:
