Actually not. I can see the kernel starting with "rhgb quiet". The last
thing is see on the graphical screen is:

automount starten: _

After a timeout it switches back to text mode saying:

SWAP-Bereich aktivieren:                   [  OK  ]
_

So I was wrong, obviously swap is activated and automount has a problem.

# cat /etc/fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /		ext3	defaults	1 1
LABEL=/boot		/boot		ext3	defaults	1 2

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap		swap	defaults	0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 /amandatapes	swap	defaults	0 0
