Re: [CentOS] Server hangs initializing audio

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 audio

The cursor sits just after the word "audio" and I have to do a hard reset to get out of it. This server has no audio capabilities, so I am thinking that I just need to disable the audio stuff so it doesn't even try to load it, but I don't know where to look.

I had a similar problem with some older Intel boards. Disabling the cheesy onboard audio in the motherboard bios "fixed" it.
