Ok, this is a new one. I installed RH 7.2 w/ext3 fs. Now when i boot, i get this message:

Checking filesystems.....
Fat32 support is still ALPHA

then it just hangs. What does this mean?

Nevermind guys and gals, i figured it out. I had created an fstab entry so i could mount my windows drives. I had the options 1 1 at the end of the entry, which would have the kernel check the drives during boot up. I guess FAT32 or VFAT is not supported yet by the new FS, so when it goes to check it, it just halts. I used my rescue cd, edited /etc/fstab and my problem is fixed. 0 0 rather than 1 1. :)
