FC2 updated kernels not loading

I can vouche that it is deffinatley not just a nForce2 chipset, or Audigy problem.

I encountered the same problem; my system locking up on "probing new hardware"

But, these are my system specs:

CPU:Slot 1 AMD, 600Mhz
Video Card:GeForce 256
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Pro
Motherboard: S30, unsure of maker
Chipset: AMD-751
Ram: 384mb of pc133
Using Fedora Core 2

An old system yes, but it does sure dissaprove that it has anything to do with specific hardware.

My best guess still points towards hardware issues. My friend installed Fedora on his computer and on his mothers computer and his always has this problem and hers works fine. The only difference between the setup of the two computers would be partitioning, the name of the computer on the network, etc. I'll try to look up kudzu errors to see if this is not just a Fedora specific problem.

I have an Asus P4PE, so that wouldn't be it for me. My roommate has an A7N8X Deluxe (nForce) and an Audigy 2. His works fine with the Audigy out of his system, but locks up when he puts it back in. Just the same for me.

I think it could be a combination of hardware issues. Unfortunately the only way for everyone who doesn't have an audigy to test this is replace your cpu, put it back, replace your hard drive, put it back, etc. It could be nforce 2 chipset and the audigy but that means that this problem should be much more widespread. I think it's a problem due to a combination of conflicting hardware.

Whatever the cause... i really hope it get's resolved.

So any updates? Like I've said, for my system if I remove my Audigy, the new kernel boots up just fine.

Well, I can't remove the Audigy because I don't have one...

Yes, well you could try other things... Note that I specifically said, "FOR MY SYSTEM if I remove my Audigy . . ."

I've tried taking out the CD and DVD drives, using a different video card, etc. The only thing that makes it boot up is removing my Audigy. I assumed that others would attempt to pinpoint the piece(s) of hardware that should be blamed, with respect to their configurations. I guess I was wrong.

I'm having the same problem - Fedora is hanging on startup while kudzu is trying to probe for new hardware. If I remove my Audigy, the system boots perfectly!

As I dual-boot with Windoze (where the Audigy works perfectly!), I've left the Audigy in there, but just disabled kudzu on startup.

Anyone come up with any better solutions yet? Any updates, etc that fix the problem?
