Output of the loader messages before GRUB hangs
Attached are the messages I get before GRUB hangs.
As a sidnote, this also occurs on Red Hat 9 (Shrike) whilst using the LILO boot mngr. When I can get it into a rescue shell (its not doing it right now, for some unknown reason) I will attach my /etc/lilo.conf for you. apm=off is most likely workaround; if that fixes it your bios can't handle apm idle calls even though it advertises it can I am seeing this on my machine too, I have three different kernels (from progressive kernel updates) in my grub config, and all three hang at this same spot. Fails on mine as well (last 2 arjanv kernels). apm=off has no effect. Can confirm this on my dell C600 (PIII) laptop. apm=off did not help. One more comment - it only happened when I upgraded to the 2.6 kernel (Fedora Core 2) Are you using FC1 userspace ? or old FC2 glibc ? Does booting with vdso=0 fix it? My machine is arjanv kernels on FC1. vsdo=0 deos fix it. I have gotten this error on a Dell PowerEdge 2650 running Redhat EL 3.0. It boots fine with kernel-smp-2.6.4-1.302 but not with kernel-smp-2.4.6.5-1.349 (or a couple others I've tried from people.redhat.com/arjanv inbetween 2.6.4-1.302 and 2.4.6.4-1.349) Same freeze at 'Freeing unused kernel memory' Well, stupid me posted this in the Fedora section, rather then the EL section, but either way, the vdso=0 does fix it. Sorry for the wrong post location My system also hangs after the messaged 'Freeing unused kernel memory'. I am using 2.6.7-1.448 kernel. where should i add vsdo=0? What does it do ? Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; MyIE2; FunWebProducts) Description of problem: On bootstrapping, the system boots from GRUB perfectly well until it comes to the section shown in the attached file. It sits there after the message 'Freeing unused kernel memory: 136k freed' and requires a reboot to.. produce the message again. I have also tried booting with linux nofb, to no avail. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn on machine 2. Wait Actual Results: Hangs after mentioned message Expected Results: Loads Fedora Core 1 Additional info:
