RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
-I am currently running a lab of three computers which are connected to a network switch while not actually connected to the internet. The server computer is lab A and there are two connected computers, B and C. Lab A was configured on its own and the configuring of B and C are identical. Lab C is able to fully boot while lab B hangs at the Starting Certmonger: [ OK ].
I have searched online for days now with no luck of fixing this error. I have tried stopping certmonger and then rhsmcertd hangs, stopping that causes atd to hang. I have tried this process to crond, causing abrt daemon to hang. I shouldn't have to disable this or anything since lab C starts normally.
Would my xorg.conf effect the way certmonger works as that is the only file that I have been working on from when it worked, but I had restored my previous xorg.conf.backup but that did not help either.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Extremely
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on computer
2. Reboot computer
3. Repeat forever
Actual results:
Starting Certmonger [OK]
_
Expected results:
Full boot
Additional info:
I had exactly this problem:
Turned out that the problem was caused because the virtualbox guest software did not automatically upgrade.... i.e.
/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso (4.2.8.r83876)
Basically xwindows wasn't starting.
How I found the problem:
When the Grub menu appears, press 'a', then remove "quiet" and add 3.
log in as root and run startx, eg
# startx
X will fail to start.
You will find the actual error in /var/log/Xorg.o.log
To fix, get the current verion of VBoxGuestAdditions.iso (4.2.8.r83876)
Mount it and run "VBoxLinuxAdditions.run"
e.g.
# mkdir /media/VBoxGuestAdditions
# mount -o loop /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso /media/VBoxGuestAdditions
# /media/VBoxGuestAdditions/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 4.2.8 Guest Additions for Linux............
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Copying additional installer modules ...
Installing additional modules ...
Saving modules configuration ...
Removing existing VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
Removing existing VirtualBox non-DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
etc...
Then shutdown and reboot... (hopefully) your system will now work... Mine did.
