Default Why Wont It Boot???

hey guys,
I just tried to install another graphics card and pull a dual head...
On bootup it said cannot find PCI memory or something...
So I took out the extra video card and it seemed to boot normal...then it just hangs and says "setting kernal parameters"...
What the heck happened? Why wont it boot???

I am using Fedora Core 3
It says:
starting udev [OK]
Initilizing hardware...storagenetwork
audio done [OK]
Configuring kernal parameters:

And then it just stops...
There is no error message it just hangs there. I can type stuff, but it doesnt keep booting...

The problem might be that, when you installed FC3 with the extravideo card in ,it wud have installed and setup its kernel parameters based on that card. So when you removed the video card, your linux seems to struck at bootup. Well, reinstall should just do fine.
