Just switched to fedora core 3 and was going well until I installed the linuxant driverloader and my netgear wg311v2 drivers. The installation fails and then boot fails on loading DriverLoader.  I found out that this was because the stack size was to small however now I can't access my system to add the patch to increase the stack size!!!

How can I bypass the driverloader on boot so I can install the stack size patch?

BTW I says press "I" for interactive setup but I've never been able to get it to work.

It should really. I have never used fedora, could it be that you have to use an upper case I?

Are you abe to boot it into runlevel one (single user maitainance mode) by typing:

linux 1

or

single
at your boot prompt?
It is non-networking mode and depending on how your system boots shouldn't try to bring up and network interfaces. From there you should be able to apply the patch.

Hey man thanks for the reply, I found out why it was locking up:

Fedora kernels only use a 4K stacks size and most windows drivers need at least 12K so linuxant made a patched kernel with a 16K stack size which I used and now everything is flying!!!!
