    [SOLVED] Fedora hangs before logon screen

    So installed fedora for the very first time last night which went well. I took my pc downstairs this morning in order to get online vian my mobo's LAN so i could update everything and download/install ndsiwrapper in order to get my USB wifi device working which i did.

    Now i shut down my machine to take it back upstairs since i had wifi working and when i switched it on i was greeted with a boot screen with two fedora options, i chose the top one as it was a newer one but after i did that it now hangs at the fedora logo/ (starting NFS statd) and won't load into the logon screen.

    This is my first real attempt at using any sort of linux so i'm not really sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated very much.

    starting NFS statd
    Seems like some issue with NFS . Have you tried to start Fedora in interactive mode?
    While booting watch closely,it says something like "Press I for interactive mode"
    Press I ,then system will prompt for every services ,say Y until you get nfs services ,now you can choose "N" to turn off NFS service
    and Press Y to start services one by one ...or press C to start all services at once.

    Thank you very very much, started in interactive mode and logged myself in and was able to change the bootloader settings so it would have enough time to actually show up and let me see then select what i wanted as somehow it was set to 1 sec.

    Anyway i selected up the 2nd older looking fedora option from the boot options and it loaded up just fine so thanks again.

    What happened is, your system probably updated the kernel, which is why you have more than one entry in your grub menu.
