I have F12 64bit installed and exactly the same problem. before I get the login screen there is a prompt which stays for something like 60 seconds. I suppose it gets then a timeout and the “usual” startup starts.

Plz, Let me know if you could fix this problem!

Hi Matthew,

thanks for the idea, but I don’t have it synced to a time server. It hangs on boot when running udev, I expect a small delay here while Fedora probes the hardware but it takes far too long.
cheers,

When you installed Fedora 12, did you select the option for syncronizing the time server with a central server? I did this and had problems with long boot up and login times. I re-installed and UNCHECKED the sync with central time server options and it boots and logins really fast now.
