I have a system where I need to wait what seems like an eternity before I see progress after the blinking cursor. If I wait long enough ... the boot proceeds without error. This assumes we are talking about the same screen. Is this observed while booting into the installer, or by booting the installed system? > Creating an usb stick (unetbootin on Mac OSX) does produce a booting system. > > How to troubleshoot a bootloader problem ? If this happens booting an installed system, be sure to remove 'rhgb quite' from the boot options in /etc/grub.conf. If this is booting the installer, perhaps try waiting longer. Alternatively, there may be some kernel command-line options you can try to further isolate/identify the cause. Thanks, James
