I'm having intermittent trouble with FC5 which sometimes locks up when booting. Each time it does this, it gets as far as "enabling swap space" but then the command line read-out stops. I've tried letting it run a long time, but that's not the problem. (On a successful boot, this line lasts only a few seconds, 10 or so, until moving on to the next line.)
I'd say it fails on boot maybe 1 time in 5. When it locks up while booting, I hit the warm boot button and try again.
I'm running an i-686 with a total of 85 MB of disk space on the system. As far as I can tell, all of the disk drives are responding normally.
I have an occasionally system lock up while running and it has been suggested this is a swap space problem, but I cannot confirm this. (Any ideas how I could do that?)
Does anyone have any information on why a boot attempt would fails sometimes but succeed others? Any suggestions on what I should check out?
Thanks,
- Bill
