Hi All,

I have a rather "old" computer out in my shop with
SL6.5, x64 on it.  It has run beautifully on Linux
for years and years.

Now, when it boots up, it freeze up at "udev".
Nothing else shows other than udev.  I have to
pull the power plug and try again.  Then it
works fine.

The symptom is reproducible with my Fedora Core 20
Live USB flash drive.  Freeze up at the start of the
Fedora Tear Drop logo.

The RAID controller and everything else in BIOS
always works.

Any idea how to approach troubleshooting this?
I figure it is either the motherboard, the memory,
or the CPU.

Many thanks,
-T
