Since I get hang up during reboot (kernel 2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64), I tried stopping (chkconfig rhsmcertd off). Then the system hangs up at RHN Daemon (Starting Red Hat Network Daemon [OK] ). However, I was able to boot back to 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 kernel from grub, while my 'rhsmcertd off' state. I am surprised why this issue hasn't reopen. Thanks for any feedback. Today I upgraded to "2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64" but the issue is still the same, it still hangs at "Starting rhsmcertd 240 1440" never boots to the OS. Thanks and Waiting for feedback. Definitely this is not a kernel bug as I thought of. I had built the NVidia kernel module for my Nvidial video card. I had to blacklist the nouveau, RH native Nvidia module. Since I upgraded the workstation(kernel upgrade), manufacturer Nvidia wouldn't work. Also, the RH native nouveau wouldn't load due to the blacklisting. As a remedy I had to de-activate the blacklisting of nouveau module then the system booted to the new kernel. I also had to rename the xorg.conf file. is this related to subscription-manager? (In reply to comment #5) > is this related to subscription-manager? Yes it is related to rhsmcertd. Nouveau needed to be blacklisted to install Nvidia driver. There is lot of info in the Nvidia forums. I am running fine on 2.6.32-279.11.1.el6.x86_64. Can you let me know how to reproduce this. I have run a 6.2 to 6.3 upgrade, and can not reproduce this.
