I use Fedora core 7 in my laptop. I am getting a pecuiliar problem. The problem is that when I choose fedora from grub menu, sometimes my machine does not boot. It just hangs.
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.
