I had a similar problem: after installing CentOS 4.4, the system would hang at "Initializing hardware... storage network". After fooling around with it for a while, I used the install CD as a rescue CD (type "linux rescue" at the boot prompt) and edited the following lines in /etc/rc.sysinit:
# Sound
for module in `/sbin/modprobe -c | awk '/^alias[[:space:]]+snd-card-[[:digit:]]+[[:space:]]/ { print $3 }'` $audio; do
load_module $module
done
I just put a '#' at the beginning of each line. This comments out the lines, and effectively disables the audio drivers, which is where the problem is.
This allowed the system to boot up OK, except that there was no audio. I'm looking into a safe way to re-enable audio right now...
Feel free to email me at jsp at rheoweb dot com (temp email) if you have any questions.
黑呵翻译一下：
我有类似的问题：在启动了 CentOS 4.4后，系统会停止在 "Initializing hardware... storage network “.
在系统乱搞了一段时间以后（感觉是这个意思，我确实也在系统里乱搞了半天）、我用安装CD作为救援光盘(输入“Linux rescue” 在启动命令行中)，然后编辑了/etc/rc.sysinit里的以下语句：
# Sound
for module in `/sbin/modprobe -c | awk '/^alias[[:space:]]+snd-card-[[:digit:]]+[[:space:]]/ { print $3 }'` $audio; do
load_module $module
done
我在每一句的前面放上了"#"。注释了这些语句后有效的禁止了声音驱动程序，也就是问题的所在。通过这样电脑成功的启动了，除了没有声音。我正在寻找一种安全的方法来启动声音。
几经波折，总算明白了问题的症结。看来RHEL4对硬件的支持没有桌面版的好。至少我电脑能够安装fedora9。准备尝试安装声卡驱动，看看能不能解决问题。
