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?

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,
