Anybody know why a system would stall during the boot process at the
line
"Setting /boot/System.map to the current running kernel"?
The machine in question has been running fine for several months.
I recently modified my ip-chains settings, so my first guess was that
I had simply firewalled out localhost. I booted up another distribution
on my 2nd hard drive, mounted the mandrake hard drive, removed
ip-chains from rc.local and checked all the host-deny files for both
ip-chains and tcp wrappers just to be sure and it still stalls out on
booting, so that didn't seem to be the problem. I get the same problem
when I try to boot the mandrake drive off a floppy into rescue mode
(boot: linux single root=/dev/hdd1 initrd= ) I can mount the mandrake
drive after booting from another distribution, so it doesn't seem to be
hardware related.
The machine has rebooted successfully several times this week in the
process of fine tuning the ip-chains script, so whatever changed has
only been in the last 2-3 days, not something I did weeks ago and
forgot about.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
