Hello-
i just installed Kernel 2.6.3-2.1.240 and now my system hangs with the initial X background and the cursor changed to an "X". i hit ctrl-alt-backspace and then i see the boot log and the system hanging on "enabling swap space". i'm able to boot with the FC2test1 "linux rescue disk" to make changes to the system. any ideas? suggestions? links that explain how to fix this? thanks...
mark. :-)

I've been having the same problem since 2.6.3-1.106; it's now happens with every version of the kernel that I try to use. Take a look at bug #117658, which I posted a few hours ago. See if you have anything to add to that. You can also look at the 'system crash' thread that I started on the list on 2/26/04. From that thread, a temporary 'workaround' is to arrow to the kernel version you want to boot, hit 'e', arrow down one and hit 'e' again, change 'rhgb' to 'nogui', hit 'enter' and then hit 'b' to boot. The change is only for that boot (i.e., you have to redo it every time unless you changed it in grub.conf). See if you get the other problem I describe in the bug report after doing the above.

Richard-
i posted some additional comments on your bug report. it appears from reading the bugzilla report and the thread you referred me to that we are having the same exact problem. interestingly, the problem alerted me to others. the nogui option informed of issues with cpuspeed and some other modprobe issues. i am wondering did you ever have this problem:
modprobe: FATAL: module mousedev not found
it perplexes me because my mouse has worked since installing (and still does). i am assuming i must make a modprobe entry. do you know what that entry should be? and why is this reporting an error if the mouse works? if you can help me with this too that would be great; if not, hopefully we can work this other problem out together and get our systems up and running again. thanks...

I saw them; /usr/share/gdm/themes/Bluecurve/icon-language.png is the same file it complains about for me. I thought it had to do with the fact that I had also installed libpng-1.2.5 for use with xine (which doesn't work btw); but I removed it and that didn't fix the problem. I feel like the problem has something to do with libpng and/or how X interfaces with it (because of the issues I had with graphical up2date and gkrellm before rebooting); but I have no idea how to figure out whether or not thats the case, and then fix it. cpuspeed doesn't work for me either; I have an Athlon XP 1800+. As for the mouse, I'm not sure. The only problem I've had thus far is that /etc/X11/XF86config needed to have the line with "/dev/psaux" changed to "/dev/input/mice"; X should have been crashing for you if that weren't already set, but you might check it anyway. Hopefully other people will start seeing this problem, and comparing system configs will help solve. For anyone else, check out bug #117658 and see what you think; TIA.
