Yes. I guess that I overlooked the "sometimes" part. ;) I remember long ago, I had a problem with acpi on Slackware 10.1. But the problem was not related to booting. The machine won't shutdown automatically. Regards, Amit.
On what screen does it hang?
Does it hang at the grub screen, or does it hang at the [OK] /
[FAILED]
screen?
After choosing the fedora kernel from grub screen when I press enter
key
, it just hangs.
Hangs as in there's no display on the screen? It maybe a graphics
problem.
Try removing the vga=xxx lines from your grub.conf. You can edit grub by pressing the 'e' key when grub loads. You can find vga=xxx (if it
exists) in
the kernel line.
But it does not happen all the times. If the problem is with vga then
it should never boot. Though I will try what you have suggested.
Also, do you see any activity on your hard-disk? You can find this out
by
checking the Hard disk LED which usually blinks every now and then the
Hard
disk is accessed.
I will check it once again.
