[mythtv-users] MythDora Won't Boot

[Timothy McFadden]

Well, I don't know anything about MythDora but I had a similar problem with
FC3.

It was a conflict between the graphical boot loader ( Fedora uses 'rhgb' )
and my xorg.conf file.

Here's how I fixed it:
	1) Boot into a "rescue" distribution ( you can find them lots of
places )
	2) mount your old file system ( dependant on rescue distro )
	3) Either:
		a) Fix your xorg.conf file and reboot
		or
		b) Remove the graphical boot loader option from the kernel
line (e.g. in Grub boot loader).  This might allow you to boot into a
command line where you can find/fix your problems.  After fixing you can
change Grub back and reboot.

This might also have nothing to do with your problem, but it might give you
a place to start.

This is a long shot, but I'm hoping someone can help me with this one...

I've just installed MythDora (1.3.1) and was very impressed with the ease
and speed at which I managed to install it.  The initial install went fine,
then it came up after the reboot and asked about my display - again, I was
impressed it had my display listed.  It then restarted again and gets as far
as 'Configuring kernel parameters:' and will remain blank forever more.

I'm hoping someone's going to tell me I'm being stupid and have been spoiled
by Fisher Price - My First Linux distros like SuSE and that all I have to do
is type 'go'...  I think I'm being a little naive, though.

Yours hopefully,


flim
