Thanks for your information. It wasn't kudzu, but you and Elliots hint
about nvidia pointed me into the right direction. I could boot with
parameter S, I could boot with parameter 3, so there had to be something
wrong with the graphics system.

I detected that grub was miss configured. Seems to be that anaconda/grub
installer was disturbed by my test installation into a spare partition.
The update was correctly performed for my work partition, but the root=
entry in grub (of course with the same kernel version) had not been
adjusted accordingly and still pointed to my test partition.

I made the correction and now it boots just fine.

I suppose this is a very special case and not worth a bugzilla entry.


Thanks
Peter
