Well, if you boot correctly, you can look at /var/log/dmesg. That gets
over-written each boot, though. That's at around line 843 of
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: you could alter this file (carefully) to make it
save the log somewhere else, and earlier or later.

I took a copy of this file when it booted correctly, and edited it on
another pc, to be the same as the text on my laptop, when it hang. I
have attached it to this mail if you could look at it.
The dmesg program should have an append option :-)

That's around line 220 of the same file. How are you at shell scripting?
Can you put echo statements in at suitable places, so we can see where
everything is hanging?

I havent done this :-) But is it easy? It must be somwhere in this USB
mounting thing, because the next thing for it to carry out is checking
the file system..

It looks like this is picked up from /etc/sysconfig/i18n by about line
20 of /etc/init.d/functions.
There are a number of ways of making sure that LANG gets set to en_US,
en_GB, or C.
I will try this later today :-)
Thanx again!
