Stuck at boot after start loading legacy modules

[sekelsenmat]

Hello,

I just installed Mageia 3 in Parallel Desktops and it proceeds the boot up to:

[OK] Started Loading Legacy module configuration
_

And it just stays there! The CPU is busy, but it seams to never finish. Any ideas?

I've been using for ages Linux in Parallels and never had this issue...

thanks,

basicly you need to boot safe mode

then see where its hanging

if safe mode still hangs then edit the kernel command line in grub prompt, and append the following

module_name.parameter_name=value

it may be that some hardware being emulated in parallels is having an issue with a driver or module in the kernel.

Safe mode works fine. But how can I find out where its hanging?

[doktor5000]

How long did you wait for it to finish/continue booting in normal mode?

[sekelsenmat]

30 minutes.

Now I tried again and it went 1 step further, to:

[OK] Started Configure read-only root support

[wintpe]

ok, when in safe mode run init 2

see if it then hangs

if it does then reboot into safe mode

then start each service in run level 2 one by one.
