HI,
I recently installed FC5 from the linuxforyou DVD. The installation went
smooth, but when it tried to boot for the first time, it froze when it
tried
to "Checking for new hardware". Then I restarted in single mode and did
"chkconfig kudzu off" and then "init 3". This time it continued to load,
but
and got freezed when loading haldaemon. I can hear a single beep when it
is
freezing in haldaemon or when it checking for hardware changes. I had to
"chkconfig haldaemon off" in single mode. Now it is working fine. I have
no
probs in browsing the net or listening to songs. I never had this
problem
when I was working with Fedora core 4 or FC2.
My question is:
Is this a bug in fedora core 5?
If its a x86_64 system, the kudzu issue is apparently related to video.

It is not an x86_64 system. It is an 32 bit system. It was a fresh install.
Is is ok to run linux having kudzu and haldaemon off?
Turning off kudzu is fine if the system doesnt undergo hardware changes.
Hal daemon is required for many of desktop application especially the
GNOME ones. You might want to try updating your apps by running yum
update and otherwise report this issue in http://bugzilla.redhat.com
So, haldaemon is not required by any crucial services like network or
iptables, right?
I meant to ask whether it won't interfere with vital system programs like
selinux or httpd.
Thanks a lot.
The computer has no hardware issues, as it is a dual boot with Windows
XP
and I have no probs in XP.
Thanks for your help.
Sendil.
