What is in your /etc/inittab? Is there something suspicious in output from "dmesg"? What happens if you try to boot to runlevel 3?
Comment 3 Thomas Schmidt 2008-06-03 12:21:04 UTC 
I think this is related to the ntpd timeout (#388980)
Comment 4 Forgotten User 9WJQF5tTlz 2008-06-03 14:46:49 UTC 
Indeed, this seems to be the same problem reported in bug 388980.

There was an ntpd process running after boot. After killing it, the init scripts finished and I got the console.

Booting into run level 3 or 2 end with the boot sequence hung and no prompt.

NTP was turned on for run levels 2, 3 and 5. During installation I pointed it to a remote time server and turned on the service.

After removing the ntp service the systems boots normally.

This machine is a laptop, with the use of the networkmanager, it'll get wirelessly online only after logging in.

This bug makes this machine unusable if it is booted into run levels 2 or 3.

This behavior didn't happen in previous versions.
