Anyone else having problems with 4.2 with the boot hanging at
Initializing hardware... storage network
?
Booting to single user or typing 'I' for interactive startup does not help. Not a timeout problem - hangs 'forever' - days at least. Did a complete reinstall and rebooted OK, did updates and the boot started hanging again. Same problem with either the 4.2 standard installed kernel-2.6.9-22 or the updated 2.6.9-22.0.1.106.unsupported kernel.
May be related to audio as that is the next thing to be initialized after network. Looks like BZ 172920
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172920
Both Knoppix 4.0.2 and Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 live-CD distros seem to work OK on the same hardware, as have RH 7.3-FC1/2/3, WBEL3, and CentOS 4/4.1. The problematic system is an IBM A21p notebook with (according to Knoppix lspci) Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 using module cs46xx.
Doesn't really need sound as it is currently acting as a print-server for a color Laser, but haven't figured out how to get it to boot under CentOS to work the problem. Will try mounting the disk from a Live-CD boot and play with config files next.

Odd as it sounds, this happened to me a while back and it was a hardware issue. I had a bad audio cable in the system that wasn't getting a proper connection due to a severed wire. I chalked it up to me not checking my hardware properly on build.

This system had been working fine until it broke after recent updates. Test kernels at http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/rhel4/ seem to correct the problem - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172920 for more details.

I had this as well, on my system, yes the audio was considered but it was a USB mouse that caused the problem.
Unplug the mouse and it booted....
strange but true... and consistently repeatable

I had a similar problem after loading updates. It turns out that there was a bug or something so if you were using LVM, it hung the system. If you aren't using LVM, it seemed to be okay. There was a program that somebody suggested be deinstalled in order to fix it.

Must be a different bug. The system with the problem is not using LVM.
