Description David Lorimer 2005-09-10 17:31:01 UTC

Description of problem:  When Fedora Core 4 is loading, it starts Udev, the
first task is "Initializing Hardware."  This passes "storage", "network", and
stops on "audio".  "Audio" is displayed on the screen, but the "done" never
appears.  I have waited hours for it, and it never passes this point.  The
system is locked up.  I cannot type or do anything.  I have to press the restart
 button.  This happens 9 out of 10 boots.  Sometimes it boots fine, with no
problems.  I have onboard Via audio, as well as a Creative Audigy 2 Value card.
 I removed the Creative card, and it didn't fix it.  I disabled the onboard with
the Creatvie card removed, and it didn't fix it.  I put in the Creative card
with the onboard disabled, and that didn't fix it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
9 out of 10 times, only on my machine (so far)


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start Fedora
2.  Wait
3.
  
Actual results:

I expect Fedora to boot up correctly.

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2005-09-30 06:05:21 UTC

Mass update to all FC4 bugs:

An update has been released (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4) which rebases to a new upstream
kernel (2.6.13.2). As there were ~3500 changes upstream between this and the
previous kernel, it's possible your bug has been fixed already.

Please retest with this update, and update this bug if necessary.

Thanks.

2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4.
Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in
this release, which may have fixed your problem.

Thank you.

Comment 3 Dave Jones 2006-02-03 05:10:39 UTC

This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state.
