RE: system halts at "bring up the loopback interface..."

[Dave Ashby]

IIRC, I fixed this by using interactive mode during system boot and skipping
kudzu.
I think the kudzu upgrade available on RHN fixed the problem permanently.
It's been several months since I worked through this, so please excuse if
I've gotten my memory bits flipped.

Subject: system halts at "bring up the loopback interface..."


I just installed RH8.0 on my laptop, Sony GRX520. The whole installation
process went smoothly and it completely without any problem. But when it
reboots after the installation, the system halted at "bring up the loopback
interface", which is after it succeeded in probing the hardwares.

I read through the document in this email list and someone else met such a
problem before. Their solvation is to turn off the PnP in the CMOS. However,
for my laptop, I cannot find anything about setting up the PnP. What I
should do? Thanks in advance.

Other small problem is about the email list. Can I set up the prefence at a
daily choice, one email about all disscusion on one day, not many separated
emails. Thanks.

Re: RedHat 8.0 + sony vaio pcg-fxa32

[Dave Ashby]

Re problem #2 below, here's what worked for me (on my Vaio PCG-FX190):
- boot in interactive mode
- Do NOT start kudzu
- Continue the boot sequence (side note: sendmail hung on me during one 
of my boots, but I'm not sure if that was a related problem)
-  Login as root and remove kudzu from your runlevel 5 services.

This got me up and running, although I'm still working on getting my 
laptop fully configured.

I can't explain why it works, but maybe one of the other gurus on the 
list can.
Hope this helps.

Recently got a friend interested in Linux.  I was helping him install RedHat 8.0.  It worked fine.  But.

1.) The boot disk the installation made fails to work correctly.
2.)It locks up during system start-up when it gets to bringing up the loopback interface.  I spent 30 second to a minute waiting for it to do it before I decided it wasn't gunna do it.
