Does it just go white or does it fade to white. A white screen sounds like the X server/graphics being the problem, so the '3' failure case is odd. > When I edit the boot prompt editing the kernel line - I add a space > and 3, it still does not boot, I get the text that I have not seen > before and it halts, I think that last thing displayed is "killed" The content of the text is somewhat important if you want anyone to be able to debug it. > I'm thinking I'm having a problem with the internal hard drive.

Boot with "init=/bin/sh" Then at the # prompt fsck -a / fsck -a /boot sync sync reboot This will bring up just the kernel itself and a shell (no init, no services), and you can then force a check of the file systems. If there is anything inconsistent on the Linux side that should show it up and probably fix it. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
