I just tried installing 9 on my home system, The install went fine and finished. At this point, I rebooted the system and it hung when it reached init version 2.84. This is right before it prints the redhat linux message, and then goes on to start the services for the box. I'm not sure what is happening here, or how to fix it. Or even how to trouble shoot it to find the problem. Since this is my personal desktop, I tried rolling back to 8 to see if that would work. I hit the same problem with 8 as i did with 9. The system is a gateway select with a 1gig athlon that is a few years old. 384 megs of ram in it. Previously redhat 7.2 was running fine on the system. I did a clean install to go to 9 and chose not to do the upgrade. Is this possibly something that is from the hardware being 3 years old almost? This is an original slot A athlon that I bought right after they came out. Thanks for any help or ideas in getting this system to boot. -- Scott Alexander
