If it hangs on boot could be that it is trying to resolve itself on the network. Also, if he has sendmail running as a service, it could be that this is causing the hang. Either deactivate sendmail or configure it properly. Also, does it hang during the boot process or does it boot cleanly. Check the boot logs too. -Matt -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paula J. Lindsay Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 10:37 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: user needs help Hi, I have a user that has dual boot, windows and linux. When it boots to linux, it hangs if it is not connected to the network. I told him to make his network settings live in the "alternative" settings, but he says this doesn't work. Here is his email to me: "Would you please tell me how to correct my problem of not being able to start the linux partition of my laptop when it is not connected to the network? I have redhat. thank you." Can someone give us some clues to this. Many thanks in advance for any help. -- Paula J.
