problems after modifying modprobe.conf
Hey Guys,
I am having a problem after modifying the modprobe.conf. I added a few entries for the HBA drivers. When I noticed that it would not boot after this, I mounted a knoppix disk and removed those lines from the modprobe.conf. Now after removing those lines, it is still stuck at the same point. It stops at the same point:

Decompressing Linux.... Done
Booting the Kernel.
RedHat nash version 4.2.1.13 starting

Anyone have an idea how to get past this point? I did notice that when I left a server in that state overnight it did finally get past it, but I cannot wait hours everytime I reboot the server.

From what you are showing us, it appears that the delay is within the initramfs. Is this correct? Did you include these HBA drivers within the initrd image?
