# Mass update to all open bugs. Kernel 3.6.2-1.fc16 has just been pushed to updates. This update is a significant rebase from the previous version. Please retest with this kernel, and let us know if your problem has been fixed. In the event that you have upgraded to a newer release and the bug you reported is still present, please change the version field to the newest release you have encountered the issue with. Before doing so, please ensure you are testing the latest kernel update in that release and attach any new and relevant information you may have gathered. If you are not the original bug reporter and you still experience this bug, please file a new report, as it is possible that you may be seeing a different problem. (Please don't clone this bug, a fresh bug referencing this bug in the comment is sufficient). Created attachment 634114 [details]

I just experienced the bug with kernel 3.6.2-1.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP . The attached shows /var/log/messages with the boot to a dark (normal) screen followed by a CTRL-ALT-DEL boot that was successful. The unsuccesful part of this file contains messages like the following:
"916 Oct 26 22:33:05 toshlocalhost kernel: [ 50.701672] radeon 0000:00:01.0: couldn't schedule ib
917 Oct 26 22:33:05 toshlocalhost kernel: [ 50.701687] [drm:radeon_cs_ib_chunk] *ERROR* Failed to schedule IB !

another occurrence, from shutdown in working mode, through the failure, then a reboot to recovery mode prompt. Exiting from that resulted in a successful boot (not shown).
When I had the failure, I saw the Toshiba boot screen, then alternating gray and dark screens. Sometimes I got horizontal colored streaks and dots. To reboot, I tried CTRL-ALT-F1, CTRL-ALT-BKSP, and CTRL-ALT-DEL with and without SHIFT. CTRL-ALT-DEL resulted in the reboot shown.
My kernel is now kernel-3.6.6-1.fc16.x86_64.
I am about to apply the following updates. Perhaps they will help. libfm.x86_64 1.1.0-1.fc16 updates libfm-gtk.x86_64 1.1.0-1.fc16 updates mailx.x86_64 12.5-4.fc16 updates pcmanfm.x86_64 1.1.0-1.fc16 updates selinux-policy.noarch 3.10.0-96.fc16 updates selinux-policy-targeted.noarch 3.10.0-96.fc16 updates This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'. 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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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. |
