Had the problem briefly on my new P4 system. The problem went away for me by turning off Plug & Play in CMOS. A lot of other stuff started working at the point too. Unfortunately, my new RealTek Ethernet controller on my new motherboard isn't one of them. I'll cover that in a separate post.
could it be looking at an old initrd, or needing a fresh one?

Subject: Re: Boot hangs loading loopback interface
Replying to my own post:
I still can't boot the default kernel.
I recompiled the i686 kernel using the default config. Same problem on
boot. The funny thing is, I can boot a 2.4.19rc2 kernel I compiled
under RH 7.3 with no problems.
Ideas are welcome.

Anyone else have this problem. After an Upgrade of RH 7.3 to 8.0, I
reboot and the system hangs loading the loopback interface. (Pentium 4
mobile, it's a Sony laptop which ran RH 7.3 like a dream).
Luckily I had another kernel in there to boot from...
