I've just installed CentOS 4.2 on a brand-new PC. It appears to be
working fine except for one thing: When the system is first powered
on, the boot sequence hangs after
Starting udev:
Initializing hardware ... storage network audio
If I then hit the reset button, it reboots and successfully proceeds.
Looking at rc.sysinit and the output of kmodule, it would appear that
the problem is with loading the pciehp module. In dmesg after the
successful boot I can see a bunch of errors from that module
(cut'n'paste appended at the end of this message), but everything
appears to be working correctly -- graphical boot was fine, gdm starts
up and I have a functional X session when I log in.
Any clues? Google found some Debian bug reports regarding hotplug and
USB drives ... hmm, now that I think of it, I do have a USB mouse
plugged in at boot time, next chance I have I'll try it without that.
Adding "redhat" or "centos" to the search didn't turn up anything
conclusive.
Other details:
System installed from CentOS 4.0 ISOs,
then upgraded to 4.2 with yum
Motherboard is ASUS P5N32-SLI,
using onboard sound
Radeon X300SE PCI-E graphics card
Power-on boot from the install CD also hung, at "running /sbin/loader"
but rebooted correctly into the installer after the reset button was
pressed.
