Update: I tried installing FC5 on another Penguin system which has the same hardware as the first one. This system was running RHEL 3 update 1 with no problems, but FC5 hung like it did on the first system. Changing to proper owner, kernel-maint. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) 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 state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you. The new kernel did not fix this issue; both the parport_pc and lp modules still cause the system to hang. Why oh why does udev-stw.modules (short-term workaround) still exist? It's been over a year now. curtis@twiki~/src/cvs.fedora.redhat.com/core/devel/udev$ cvs log -Nd '2006-01-11 12:11:24' udev.spec RCS file: /cvs/dist/devel/udev/udev.spec,v Working file: udev.spec head: 1.195 branch: locks: strict access list: keyword substitution: o total revisions: 195; selected revisions: 1 description: ---------------------------- revision 1.137 date: 2006/01/11 12:11:24; author: harald; state: Exp; lines: +25 -11 - removed group "video" from the rules - fixed specfile - load nvram, floppy, parport and lp modules in /etc/sysconfig/modules/udev-stw.modules until there is a better solution - fixed more floppy module loading Just an FYI that bit me today... I had the parallel port modules aliased off in modprobe.conf. And with that setup, the shipped udev-stw.modules will hang the system upon boot until the kernel panics.
