However, the original Fedora install booted just fine. I went through some online forums and found somebody suggesting that I 1. comment all my iptables rules (/etc/sysconfig/iptables); 2. uncomment/enable one rule 3. restart iptables 4. look for a failure message One subsequent rule showed that I had a "-m state" specified, but no kernel module compiled for it. I just ran the "make menuconfig" again; went through all the options under Networking -> Netfilter configuration and enabled all modules (just to be safe). Enable specific modules to your requirement. I am not sure if this solves your problem; it solved mine. Nandan
