From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031003 Epiphany/1.0.1 Description of problem: The dreaded hang is back. rpm -q always return nothing on first attempt after a boot. rpm -e fails, kill -9 and removing __db*'s not making a difference. rpm --rebuilddb fails Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.2.1-0.30 2.4.22-1.2088.nptl How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Fedora with kernel 2.4.22-1.2088.nptl 2. Open terminal, rpm -q 3. rpm -e Actual Results: Doesn't query on first attempt, erase not working and rebuilddb not working. Expected Results: rpm -q works on first attempt, erase doesn't hang, rebuilddb doesn't hang. Additional info: It seems work ok when erasing single packages, but multiple packages kill it almost every time. Then after a while I can erase two packages, but then rpm -q will fail again. I have yet to succesfully erase three packages with this kernel/rpm version. futex(0x403a8fb0, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL Hope this is helpful.
I need more details to even attempt a guess. AFAIK rpm is doing the same job as always for thousands of people. So what's different about your box?
After having filesystem issues and fsck'ing it, this problem has not been happening anymore. Vlose this baby out, and I will make a note to myself to stay away from the 2.6.0-test.X kernels :-) Ted
