Sorry about the lack of response on this. At this point, this isn't going to be fixed unless it still reoccurs on current distributions. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-DE; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: A simple mistake in modules.conf causes system start hanging up. You will get an error message about a syntax error in this file in an endless loop. This line causes the hang up: post_install emu10k1 /usr/local/... ....^----- '_' should be '-'. But the script (?) should check this and shouldn't end up in an endless loop! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): modutils-2.4.18-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open modules.conf 2.replace '-' in post-install with '_' 3.reboot Expected Results: Only one error message, but no endless loop!
