Comment 26 for bug 96084

master ar2ro: have you tried disabling your floppy drive in bios to reduce the console spew? so you can see what is actucally happening.

Have you tried booting without the quiet and splash kernel command line options and then scrolling back through the obot messages to see where it dies?

To do this throw the LiveCD in the drive boot from the LiveCD and when you get to the LiveCD boot menu press F6 and edit the boot command line removing the "quiet" and "splash" options.
