I have a server that frequently hangs while rebooting. I see no errors, but during the boot process it stops at this stage:
Initializing hardware... storage network audioThe cursor sits just after the word "audio" and I have to do a hard reset to get out of it.
The boot message is a red herring, it really doesn't have anything to do with the audio.
It *might* have something to do with ACPI ... search the CentOS list archives for a thread with the subject "CentOS 4.2 hangs at power-on boot" from February 2006. I had the same problem, and in fact still do, though now it's intermittent.
