   Redhat is retarded.
  I reboot my server running redhat8. While it''s booting and going through the list of all the service''s its starting, (like where it goes: httpd   [OK] shitthing    [FAILED]it comes up to icecast, and doesn''t do anything.... just sits there.... the comp doesn''t freeze (I can still type stuff in) but it won''t boot cus that gay icecast shit won''t let it11`!!! How do I cancel a er... thing thats starting up as it happens? I''ve tried going into the interactive startup by pressing I, but nothing happens whne I press I and it keeps on booting :KLAJLKJkljklFUCK I am so pissed off 
  1st off, it may not actually be icecast that''s screwing up. It might be whatever is AFTER icecast that''s screwing up. I know Mandrake always prints whatever it just FINISHED starting, not what it is ABOUT to start.You could always boot from a disk and check your logs and see what''s going on. ;  I know for a fact that redhat prints [SUCCEDED] AFTER it loads something (because it takes a while for my ethernet interface and after it finishes, [succeded] comes up :-\I don''t have an FDD for that comp either so booting off a floppy isn''t an option. Can I boot from the redhat installation cd? ;  Wiiiiiiiiiiiindoooooooows... ;quote:Original post by Xtremehobo  I know for a fact that redhat prints [SUCCEDED] AFTER it loads something (because it takes a while for my ethernet interface and after   it finishes, [succeded] comes up :-\ Oh, ok.quote:I don''t have an FDD for that comp either so booting off a floppy isn''t an option. Can I boot from the redhat installation cd?   I guess. You can boot from the Mandrake CD so I assume you could boot from the Red Hat CD. If not, there''s always Knoppix. ;  Yeah, I also noticed that the "I" for interactive startup is utter BS. Once it was set to boot directly in X, and due to some driver problems, it always froze my computer. I couldn''t do anything, but get a rescue disk and modify the run level...

I am just curious as to why it was installed on Redhat... ;  I personally don''t know that much about redhat, because I mainly use Gentoo as my linux distro, and OS X for everything else, but here goes. I would probably suggest that you use something like knoppix, and boot into your linux partition through that, and empty as much stuff from your init scripts as possible, and seeing if that works.
