[Solved] Boot Lockup After Drive Swap
Hey All,
Im using Fedora 2.6 (which is cannot be changed for compatibility reasons).
I cloned a drive from a different server and when i added this drive to a new box, during startup it hangs on "Configuring Kernel Parameters:"
Is there any way to bypass this process and still boot correctly?
thanks in advance,
Rob.

After spending a few hours staring at the screen, i fixed the issue by removing "rhgb" from GRUB parameters and started up.
Then, after a few prompts for hardware mismatches etc it then asked to reconfigure X windows setup.
Restarted the system and all is well and good
Can mark this as fixed!
