Description David Wilson 2008-05-02 16:49:26 UTC 
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC9-Preview

How reproducible:
Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kill any text tty
2. It doesnt restart
3. Look at inittab in /etc to see what is missing
  
Actual results:
It's broke!

Expected results:
Text ttys don't respawn.  They should.


Additional info:

This is the only relevant line in the FC9-preview inittab file:

id:5:initdefault:


It needs these lines:


# System initialization.
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6

# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now

# When our UPS tells us power has failed, assume we have a few minutes
# of power left.  Schedule a shutdown for 2 minutes from now.
# This does, of course, assume you have powerd installed and your
# UPS connected and working correctly.  
pf::powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -f -h +2 "Power Failure; System Shutting Down"

# If power was restored before the shutdown kicked in, cancel it.
pr:12345:powerokwait:/sbin/shutdown -c "Power Restored; Shutdown Cancelled"


But Wait... there is more...

I would suggest going back to any recent flavor and copying the rest of the
inittab file.  

This needs to be fixed before release of FC9

Please read the comments at the top of the inittab file.
Comment 2 David Wilson 2008-05-02 17:01:08 UTC 
Since the text screens don't reinitialize, could you please send a clue bat so I
can fix it to use the text screens without having to reinit the ttys?  Where did
that go?
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2008-05-02 17:10:49 UTC 
How did you upgrade?
Comment 4 David Wilson 2008-05-03 01:33:43 UTC 
This box was upgraded with the FC9 Preview live iso last Friday (Apr 25).  Only
partition that was kept as is was the /home partition.

anaconda log

This was the install log from another machine with the same problem.
Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2008-05-05 16:02:37 UTC 
I need upgrade.log as well; it should be in a similar place on the filesystem.

yum upgrade log
Comment 8 Bill Nottingham 2008-05-05 17:04:02 UTC 
OK, I *believe* this is due to event-compat-sysv accidentally still being in the
tree. This should be fixed when upgrading to F9 final.
