I'm trying to convert a Dell Inspiron 210B laptop into a sandbox using Centos4.2. The install went without incident but rebooting (starting) the first time the system hangs at "Initializing storage network" then says "disabling IRQ# 11" then goes no further.
I've tried to press "i" and "I" to enter into interactive start-up (so I can check the log file) but I can't get interative start-up to turn over.

If at boot time you already know that you want an interactive start, then you can at grub boot screen press "a" (without quotes) and append "confirm" (without quotes) to the kernel line.
