Subject: Fedora 9 Freeze At Login
So I've put in Fedora 9 just the other day, but it doesn't matter when
I login into Fedora 9 after booting up into it, that everything
freezes once the login screen goes away after entering my username and
password. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do to get this working.
Likely a device driver is causing this. The good news is that since it's so easy to
reproduce you should be able to identify the driver, disable it and then start the usual
hardware troubleshooting steps ( new driver, new firmware and so on ). I recommend
booting up, then chvt 1 and wait for the crash to happen and see if the output on the
screen shows the problem.
I had a similar problem with my wireless card connecting to WPA cards recently. I simply
disable wireless at boot time in the BIOS to see if that was the problem. Once I confirmed
this I updated firmware and drivers and the problem went away.
Good luck.
