The same happens to me, the machine completely freezes if I try to init 5 or startx. I have no additional information. No logs are available. xorg-x11-6.8.1-4 kernel-2.6.8-1.541 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X (rev 5c) processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 804.046 cache size : 256 KB If /dev/null has incorrect permissions, it would seem that there is a bigger problem at hand. This may be a udev or kernel bug rather than an X server bug. I've CC'd a couple of our kernel developers, and our udev package maintainer for comment. Dave/Arjan/Harald - any comments on this one? which version of udev? is the system started with an initrd? does # mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) help? is SELINUX activated? > "Starting udev" was the first startup message. Now it's gone.
This is the cause of your problems..
I have updated all my rpms with yum this morning, and the problem seems to be solved. It did indeed seem like a udev (rather than a xorg-x11) problem. For the record, my udev version is now udev-034-2. mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) gave me this in /boot: initrd-2.6.8-1.541.img SELINUX was specifically "deactivated" during install, and has still not been activated. Ok, thanks for the update Thielman. It appears this was just a temporary udev glitch. Setting status to "RAWHIDE" |
