Fedora 12 hangs on startup

Hey,
After spending some time on the #Fedora and #Amahi (with cpg and bigfoot65) IRC I still haven't been able to fix my current problem.
I have a Fedora 12 computer for an Amahi media server (NAS).
Recently I updated it, but not quite sure if i've rebooted since then. Anyway I rebooted today and wasn't able to start it up again.
I hangs right after it fills up the "white egg" Fedora logo. The command line gives me this:

The md-daapd error has already been fixed, it's now stuck on the "monit" line.
This is a screen of my Grub:

I hope anyone sees the problem so I can get my NAS back working again.

the grub screen does not help much.
you can edit the boot parameters right there in grub to remove "rhgb" (red hat graphical boot) and boot without the white egg, which will let you see what's preventing it from booting.

no, it shows the error in mt-daapd.
turn off monit, just like you did with mt-daapd.
seems rather strange that these things would "hang".
the monit just happens to be the last one before the logins start now.
i think there is something in rc.local or something blocking the logins. somehow.

when I do:
Code: Select all
chkconfig monit off
service monit stop
and then reboot, it just stops at the line before:
and visually it hangs on the fedora logo again.

dunno. so, clearly it's something after all those.
not sure what it could be (especially something after an update??).
i cannot imagine what could be it. we'd have to debug a lot more in-depth, sorry.

boot into single mode. enable all the services one by one and check if they come up or hang, you should find the guilty one then. Or boot into runlevel 2 (single + network) and do a yum update, this might fix things as well.

And how exactly do I boot in any of those modes?

OMG i've been LMGTFY

First i tried this one:
After quite a lot of updates, the problems is still there.
So when I went into init 1, I was kinda stuck because I don't really have a clue how or what I needed to do to check those services.
