IBM X30 boot/startup problems

[hawaii67]

Well, my IBM X30 only boots with the boot option "nohotplug". Otherwise the boot hangs after the line "Module dependencies up to date (no new kernel modules found)"
After booting, a "xconf" fails with sth . like "cannot run auto config", and "startx" ends with sth. like "Cannot open /dev/tty0 (no such file or directory)."
Anybody an idea?

PS: VGA compatible controller is Intel 82830 CGC

Hello, I am a Linux noob to be true.......and I have the same problem.
My X30 stalls during boot from cd and USB!
If I boot with debug option the last line is
"/sbin/modprobe -q parport_pc"

Second problem: if I boot with the nohotplug option and after login I issue xonf I get the error saying "cannot run autoconfig". Why this.....?? I have also VGA compatible controller is Intel 82830 CGC. Is this connected with the nohotplug option? I don't think so.
Xorgsetup doesn't work either ("cannot open /dev/tty0 - no such file or directoy), and with xorgconfig he asks me for information I really don't know (frequencies and stuff). Is there another way around. I really don't know what to do now!
Please help me, I'd also want to enjoy the new bt3 (btw. bt2 runs normally)
Thanks in advance!!!!

I found out that it seems to be a problem with udev.
nohotplug doens't start udev, and when you try to start udev with /etc/rc.d/rc.udev start after the nohotplug boot, it stalls...............
Has somebody an idea (no there are no error messages.......)
I know notting about that udev feature..............

Ialso have the same issue, i tried the nohotplug option and i was able to get to the startx part and i get an error something like what hawaii67 has "Cannot open /dev/tty0 (no such file or directory)."

ive been trying to play around with this by checking my current hardware informations such as my IDE controller using ata_piixx which is in /etc/modules.d/blacklist

still working on it, will update when i have more info

Thanks, keep working. There a quite a few ppl who have this "problem"....
I am playing around with udev but still no success!

i found an issue for this problem in a forum , with my laptop it solves the pb

- boot with nohotplug

# ln -s -f /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/kernel/drivers/char/agp/ati-agp.ko /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/kernel/drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.ko
(instead of "ati-agp.ko" choose the good one of course)
# /sbin/udevd --daemon
# /sbin/udevtrigger
# flux

excuse my english

Good job kingju.
