I'm trying to set up Fedora 8 test on a Mac Pro, and while the install completed smoothly, it hangs when booting from the hard drive, in rc.sysinit, at or immediately after running /sbin/start_udev.
I booted off the rescue disk and ran yum update successfully. Now, it manages to get as far as 'Setting hostname', still in rc.sysinit, before freezing up completely.
Is this a known problem ? Any ideas about how to proceed pinning down the root cause ?
Thanks much, Gabriel

Does it always stop at the very same place? Could you please add the command 'set -x' somewhere near the beginning of rc.sysinit to see what is the command that does the hang.
Also, could you please add "lsmod" somewhere between udevtrigger and the hang place?
