Does anyone have any idea how I can debug this problem? I can boot from 
other CDs, but FC2 just stops dead. Any ideas?

On Sunday, Aug 15th 2004 at 17:32 -0400, quoth Steven W. Orr:

=>I rebooted by machine with Disk1 of Core2 in the CDROM. The system finds the
=>cd and gives me the LILO splash screen. I tried hitting return for the
=>graphical boot but it just hangs. I also tried "linus text" and that also
=>hangs.
=>
=>My system is a scsi aic7xxx controller with 3 scsi disks, 1 ide drive. I have
=>2 athlon 1600s.
=>
=>I did verify that the images I burned my cds with are the correct checksums.
=>
=>I have no clue what do next. Can someone help?

=>TIA

If this helps, here's my mount table:

/dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda1 on /f type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda2 on /g type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdc1 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /home2 type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sdc2 on /h type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sda6 on /usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /var type ext3 (rw)

I'm booting SCSI and the IDE drive is just used for backup.

I'm totally stuck here. :-(
