Fedora 11 hangs on boot up

[sachin_khot]

I have installed Fedora 11 and have been using it for about a 4 months now. Everything has been working just fine until this morning when I booted up the computer and it hung at the blue screen with the F bubble in the middle. I waited about 10 minutes without any change to the system. I held down the power button to power off and tried starting the computer again with the same result.

Please help me out.

Thanks and Regards,
Sachin Khot

Try to boot up in Command Line mode and check where it hangs.

Highlight Fedora title in GRUB Menu and press 'e'. Select 'kernel' line and press 'e' again. Add <space> 3 at the end of line and hit 'Enter' key. Press 'b' and Fedora will boot up in command line mode.

Highlight Fedora title -- e -- select kernel line -- e -- type 3 -- hit Enter key -- b

Thers is no GRUB Menu display. it directaly goes to blue screen with the F bubble in the middle.

It looks like hiddenmenu option has been set in your grub.conf file.
Press any key at startup. GRUB menu will appear.
