If the kickstart is completing, then "hangs" is not the right word to use. I think you're issue is caused by a serial console, but not the one you disabled in the BIOS. The output of the kernel and init is going to the serial console instead of the monitor you've got plugged in. Check your kernel boot parameters for something like "console=tty0,ttyS0" and remove it (tty0 is the default). - -- Kyle Powell | Red Hat | Senior Consultant, RHCE -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJd1Rf7pTtanQdBU4RAjCnAJ92+W7T8RB6isvpjxoN3JyMcaoDnwCeOTzD NfxLNq3clNAIn+F2KYwOkWc= =TqoU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
