Then it can't be isapnptools causing this problem because the rc.sysinit first checks: 1) is there an executable /sbin/isapnp and is there a file named /etc/isapnp.conf and there cannot be a file named /proc/isapnp. 2) Is there not a "nopnp" passed from the lilo command prompt (or append)? 3) If both of those pass, then it runs '/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf' That's it. So check to see if you have that binary. Check to see if you have that config file. Check to see if /proc/isapnp exists on your system. Try passing "nopnp" at the commandline. I've half a mind that what's hanging is not isapnp but what comes immediately afterward, which is remounting the root fs rw. Maybe gc has more to input on this. Blue skies..
