Update: More information about this bug can be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/189398 Somehow all of this is caused by the presence of a cisco aironet wireless device (see comments of bug report linked to above). Disabling the laptops built-in wireless device in the BIOS results in a clean boot. Does blacklisting the padlock_aes module work too? (add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist) I updated to the Fedora 9 preview release yesterday and the error is gone. I still get a message about padlock_aes when booting, but everything else works as expected (including wireless). This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: Fedora 8 no longer finishes the boot process after updating to kernel 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8 How reproducible: update to latest kernel, reboot Actual results: 1. A new warning message appears before all other output: "pnpacpi exceeded the max number of mem resources: 12" 2. after "starting udev:", this warning messages appears: "modprobe: warning: error inserting padlock_aes (/lib/modules/2.4.24.3-12.fc8/kernel/drivers/crypto/padlock-aes.ko): no such device" At this point, the boot process stops. It resumes only after hitting Ctrl-C. 3. After that, it runs up to "starting anacron [OK]" (the last init script), and then stops again. The only thing the computer responds to at this point is "Ctrl-Alt-Del", which results in a clean shutdown & reboot. Expected results: The computer should boot completely. Additional info: This is on a Thinkpad T40 (~3 years old), no unusual hardware is present.
