[mythtv-users] 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 lock up?

[Scott Francis]

Could be a video issue.  I've found on FC3 that if the video stuff isn't
set up properly it can hang at boot time when it's tries to move into
the pretty graphical startup mode.  Easiest way to "fix" this is to
remove the rhgb entry in your grub.conf file.  This will make it text
based while bringing things up.  X will try to start for the login
screen, but it won't lock the system up during the boot.

An example in grub would be like:

title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.678_FC3)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.678_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.678_FC3.img

Hope that helps.
