Well, usually this is not a swap problem, it's a different service that
can not start when you are starting up your computer in graphical mode
(it doesn't mean using X mode [init 5]) , but you have to avoid the
graphical start up.

You should change it in the grub, if you can start your computer edit
the /boot/grub/grub.conf, find the line where says
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.x-xx.x.x ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
rhgb quiet
and delete the "rhgb quiet" it doesn't matter if your line is
different, just delete the "rhgb quiet" in the kernel that you are
starting up, this enable to do the startup in graphical mode, only the
startup, you will still be able to run your computer in graphical mode.
Then you can see what is the real problem with your computer.

when you find the problem you can write the "rhgb quiet" back.

If you can not startup your computer because of this service doesn't
let you startup, you can press "e" when your computer starts up, when
the grub screen apears, and find the line that I told you and do the
same thing, this will change only for the time that you are starting
up.

I hope it helps you

bye

Hi,

Since last week, I have a very weird behaviour of my Centos V4

While, booting, it just freeze on 'Swap enabling"
Any idea what is this ??
how can I fix this ?

I made no changes. Everything was OK before

Thanks




Thanks for this trick

Yes, I have a dual boot with WinXP
But what seems to me weird, is that this just happen after about 6 months of use...
Nothing has ben done.
and I just need to reboot the machine (sometines, works fine ) or when it is frozen, I can just wait for 15 min.. and then keep on booting !

I can't understand what suddently is the problem...

But thanks anyway, I was not aware of this 'rhgb quiet'
