I have just installed RH9 and during boot, it hangs at the point "Finding module dependencies".
It just sits there and doesn't do anything, the keyboard doesn't work and I can't enter Interactive.
Is there anyway that I could make it boot without checking these dependencies and then try and fix it in Linux? i can use the rescue disk to get into Shell mode.
It was a clean install, no problems there and I installed the default package.
I have fixed the problem already, the problem being two USB devices which were plugged in. I Loaded Knoppix and it froze at the "Initialising Periferals" bit so I check them and removed the USBs.
Works fine now, although, I will have to sort out the USB stuff.
Thanks for your help, I will be relying on this forum for the next couple of months until I can get everything sorted.
I have exactly the same problem as described by hamish, i.e., hanging "Finding module dependencies ..". I followed your instrunctions as shown below but the Redhat 9 boot stills hangs at the same point after renaming the modules.conf to modules.conf.bak without showing any error msg. Are there other ways I can try?
Thanks,
- Dhsieh
