Re: After install, system hangs at init

Have you tried passing the noathlon argument at install??? I have heard that some systems will have trouble some of the athlon-specific optimizations.

I just tried installing 9 on my home system,  The install went fine and

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.
