Computer make/model (or processor type and motherboard make/model), video card, type of hard drive (SATA, SCSI, IDE), memory size, that sort of thing. Also make sure the BIOS on the machine is the current release (check with the computer or motherboard maker's website). The most common problems have to do with interrupt routing, DMA channels, APMI issues and that sort of thing. There's lots of work- arounds and we need to know what may be appropriate for you. If you could tell us what's displayed when you hit "ALT-F3" and "ALT-F4" when it's stalled, that may help as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - The gene pool could use a little chlorine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
