Actual Results:  System hangs, with a repeated message, evey few minutes

INIT: ld "x" respawing too fast...



Expected Results:  Logout to login screen

Additional info:

I have ALL etarra applied, as of 7/09/2002...

This just started happening, so maybe it is related to psmisc module, 
although I tried backing off to previous version without any luck.

Comment 1 Rob Trotter 2002-07-16 15:33:12 UTC

I tried to narrow this thing down a bit. 

  Backed off applied modules to previous versions-releases:

    1. psmisc 
    2. glibc, glibc-common, glibc-devel, glibc-kernheaders 
    3. ucd-snmp, ucd-snmp-utils 
    4. nscd

      Following each module, backoff, I reboot system, logged into kde, and
      attempted loggout.. ALL still hung..

  Went back further and found kernel was previously updated to, 18-4 -> 18.5.
Tried the i586 arch version of the 18-5 kernel on my i686 machine, but system
still hung at logout.

  Finally, backed off kernel to 18-4 (i686) and logout no longer hangs. So seems
something to do with the kerenl on faster machines. My i686 is a piii 733. I
  also have AMD k62 500 system which has no problem with the new kernel 18-5.

I wonder if this a symptom of large problem(s).

I'm changing component to kernel, from ld.so

Comment 2 Arjan van de Ven 2002-07-18 08:54:13 UTC

Is this an i810/i815 video chipset? If so it's a known issue recently fixed:

Comment 3 Rob Trotter 2002-07-18 15:11:19 UTC

Yes it is i815 chip set.. I've loaded your 18-5e kerenl and it addresses the
problem mentioned in this report.

Please duplicate this to any existing bug, as needed.. I'll look forward to the
next released kernel..

Thanks;
Rob

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
