Hanging at splash screen

Zalithian · #1 28th July 2011, 07:24 PM

Hey everyone. I finally installed Fedora 15 DVD through USB. I've been running the bootloader off USB as well, and it was working fine. I haven't really updated anything, but I did install KDE, XFCE, some web browsers and some other things. Now Fedora won't complete bootup. It gets to the splash screen, fills up the icon and then just sits there. Not really sure what the problem is as I haven't changed much else aside from power settings. Any ideas?

Fedora 64 bit
Core i7 sandy bridge quad
Nvidia Geforce 540M

Fedora 2.6.38.8-35.fc15.x65_64

kernel arguments:

heb_sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet

Can you give your boot.log and messages? (both are in /var/log)

Won't let me paste them in the thread as text or links, because I'm new maybe? Sent them in PM.

It seems to be corrupted or something. I'm not sure how. Now it just causes reboots when I try to load it, either gives an error and reboots or loads half of the splash screen and reboots. Gonna wipe it I guess. Already got my data off of it.

I can't really see something obviously wrong from your /var/log/messages or /var/log/boot.log, so I guess that would be the best option, unfortunately.

Thanks Kameraad.
