FC4 Hangs on Boot

[slugonamission]

Im a bit of a linux newbie, so bear with me

Basically, when booting the system, it gets up to determining IP information for eth0, and just hangs there. After a couple of minutes it switches to the shell where it says like creating swap file [OK] (not the graphical shell thingy)

it tries to determine ip address by DHCP
just unplug network cable and wait few seconds, then after start just specify ip address mannualy.
that´s all

Thanks anyway
