http://forums.fedoraforum.org – After almost a dozen tries , I was able to install Fedora 18. The problem I faced was just as the fedora logo loads up during startup, my machine hanged. After installation , fedora booted up with no problems. But when I restarted the system, it again hanged and till now I have not been able to boot up fedora. I have no clue what the problem is , and i've tried again and again to run fedora but it always hangs. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Fedora 18 Hangs up on startup

I just got an HP Envy dv7 series laptop which came with Windows 8. I used Windows tools to remove the recovery drive and shrink the main windows partition to make room for Fedora 18. The installation process for Fedora went reasonably smoothly and I now have a system with a working Fedora and Windows 8 both booting with Secure Boot enabled.

Dear Guys, I upgraded some old systems before from fedora 4 and fedora 6 to fedora 9 and 10 using the cds, When I booted the cds of fedora 9 and 10 it detected the old installed fedora and offered to upgrade it, It sounds nice, I chose to upgrade and every thing went fine, The old fedora 4 and 6 became 9 and 10.

Fedora 17 boot problems 41 weeks 15 hours ago

I'm trying to dual-boot Fedora 17 and Windows XP. I installed Fedora from the live-cd with no problem onto a second hard drive, and put GRUB2 on the first drive so it's the boot loader.

When I try to boot Fedora I get a "Cannot open file font True" message and it stops booting. I looked around and found that the error should only delay the booting, and found how to fix it.

I have just installed Fedora 12 on my old AMD64 desktop. The install went fine, I then set about adding various useful things like skype, flash plugin- some manually, some with autoten.

Upon rebooting, the system hangs. Looking at the text startup, the last line before it hangs is:

Starting jexec servicesStarting yum-updatesd: [OK]

I'll explain my situation and what I've done to try to fix it.

I had gotten a brand new laptop, a Gateway NE56R10u just the other day and of course wanted to to install fedora which I did without any problems. I have my windows partitions on sda1-3, fedora is sda4-8.

I went to update my fedora system to fedora 18 sometime had went wrong.
