Sorry, but I don't understand and which exact point the boot hangs. Does it delay when starting a network interface and is this caused by another daemon? Can you please attach the bootlog? I do not know what or where the bootlog is? Here is a copy of a post I made to a forum which explains all I know: Having successfully installed Fedora onto a number of desktop computers I decided it was time to set up a server. I have a brand new Fujitsu TX300 and I set up RAID and then Installed Fedora 4 from 4 CDs. Everything seemed to go fine and I rebooted and made some changes to the network settings and the desktop and then rebooted again. On this second reboot and subsequent reboots I get stuck at this point: Enabling Local File Sytem Quotas [OK] Enabling Swap Space [OK] It then shows details e.g. CUPS, xinted, sshd, sendmail. It stops at sendmail and then returns to the Enabling Swap Space [OK] screen and it just sits here until I force a reboot. Could it be getting stuck when setting up something like sendmail or whatever comes next? My solution to the above question was plugging in the network cable. Immediately the machine continues to boot. This is all I know - I am relatively new to linux and Red Hat so I am no expert. If you tell me where to find the bootlog I will retrieve it and post it if that will help. Cheers, jonny This still doesn't say where exactly it hangs. Does sendmail fail to start? Check /var/log/boot.log my boot log is empty. Maybe it is emptied after each boot? I cannot give you any more information about the boot sequence as the last thing I see is that it tries to start sendmail and then changes back to the 'Enabling Swap Space [OK] screen' so I cannot see any more messages. At this point it hangs. I think that it is probably the daemon that next starts after sendmail which hangs. I have tried this on 2 different machines and after setting the host as myserver.mydomain it hangs when booting at this point only if the network cable is not plugged in. I don't know if this gives you any more clues but obviously I am ignorant of what is happening so if you need me to do something I will need instructions. jonny Ok, I've managed to reproduce this bug on a rawhide machine. The boot hangs everytime on sendmail. This is the only error I'm seeing in /var/log/messages root@garfield log# grep "sendmail" messages Aug 18 11:22:22 garfield sendmail[8902]: sql_select option missing Aug 18 11:22:22 garfield sendmail[8902]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available Sendmail is not configured, just checked to be started at boottime. This should not cause system to hang. (sendmail-8.13.4-2.i386) Have you removed localhost.localdomain from /etc/hosts completely? This bug entry was in needinfo for some time. Closing due to user inactivity as "NOT A BUG". |
