In FC6, some times the linux hangs at bootup after the "Uncompressing linux ..." and before the "Red Hat nash version ..".

It's not happening always, I've enabled kernel debug and loglevel to print more detailed information. If it hangs again, I would attach the detailed log information.

Throw some light on what could be the issue, so that I can debug more on this.

There are some known issues with older (i.e. 2.6.18) kernels on Core 2 Duo based systems. Just update your kernel to a newer version (i.e. >= F9 kernel, etc).
