I am booting into graphics mode (runlevel 5).

This bug explains only for install problems. I didn't have install
problems at all. It went well under X.

Yes, I have waited for 30 min but nothing. The system froze because HDD
led was allways on.

Could this be related to BIOS? Because, after cold-boot to winxp and
reboot to FC2 it works or cold-boot in linux but in "Interactive mode".
