I waited 15 minutes once with no response lol. Had a shower while it was booting. I normally don't reboot very often, but since I noticed this I have been doing it to test it. I'll try and let it go for as long as it possibly takes, but a fix is what's important to me. thanks On Sunday 05 May 2002 11:52 am, Brian W. Carver wrote:
This happens to me on my laptop, but it actually finishes booting if you just sit there 2 full minutes. Be patient! I think mine is hanging because it doesn't like the internal Sony modem, but I dunno. I've just lived with it so far since I don't reboot too often. I'd love a fix for this too.

I seem to be having a problem on boot up with 8.0. The system hangs at the point in the boot process that it says "Starting Hardware Scan on Boot"...it just sits there and doesn't get any farther. The system is still responsive and I can ctrl-alt-del to reboot. After 3 or 4 retries it will get past this to finish off the boot process. This options comes right after the "Starting HotPlugging Services [net pci usb]" portion of the boot process.
Any insight would be appreciated, since I've never seen this problem b4 with any other kernel's or OS versions.
TIA
