I have a machine can not boot, It is built by a long gone consultant. It can not boot up.
The system only has 1 SATA hardrive.

I got the following screen and then lockup at the last line. Do not know how to fix it. Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks!

Fc4 is too old to trouble shoot. I would try booting with a rescue disk and copy all that you value to another drive and then install F7 or later.

Thank for the advice! This is an old machine that left by a consultant long time ago. No one really care about it until it die and they brought it to me for trying to get some important files out.
