Hi there,

After recent updates on Rawhide I ran into troubles with system booting.
I'm not sure about the exact component, but I suspect the dracut. The
machine is a laptop, so I don't have a serial port to debug it on-line.

Please help me to figure out what's happening (I'll file a bugreport,
just want to ensure it will be useful).

Some info:

My boot process slows down at the end of plymouth theme "charging" and
finally it shines bug I don't get X cursor and gdm.

I can press Esc at this moment and the only message I see is about
deprecated "modules.conf".

System reacts on Ctrl+Alt+Del.

System boots seamlessly with the older kernel (2.6.31-14.fc12.x86_64).

Hello Sergey ,

If you're able to boot in previous kernel ,do so and do :

$ su - c  ' gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf ' 

after the

#hiddenmenu  , you will see the following

title Fedora (2.6.31-33.fc12.x86_64)
        root (hd0,1)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-33.fc12.x86_64 ro root=UUID=xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx rhgb quiet  (and maybe other kernel line arguments)

Delete  "rhgb quiet"  and save the file .

Then reboot ,and after the grub screen ,press escape to see the messages.

You'll see some more info appearing then before ,and that info could give me
a hint as where to look further.

Greetings,
