I am in a HP Pavilion ze5300 I read that the CD-DVD Sony combo driver : crx820e has problems. on red hat 9 the systems crash in this same part, but i cancel de interactive mode and skip the hardware detection, but i don't make work the CD correctly. But in Fedor Core, i dont' stop the hardware detect and i don't enter in interactive mode. The ze5300 hp laptop crash on red hat 9 with de firewire and the pcmcia; but with fedora core and, fedora test1 this work fine, except the dvd-cdwr combo driver. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install fedora core 1 2.restart pc 3.hang in start process, i dont can't see any more Additional info:
I need a better idea of where the hang is occurring. What is the last thing that you can see on the screen?
I have been experiencing the same problem on my system. In fact, this problem doesn't seem unique to Fedora Core 1. I have had the same problem in Mandrake 9.2 and Xandros Desktop 2. Everything discussed here concerns Fedora Core 1 (not a test release). First time after rebooting, my screen goes blank after the first status message comes up (ending with [ OK ]). I waited 15 minutes and then forced another reboot. The second reboot goes further up until "Enabling Swap Space". At this point it just hangs (I waited 30 minutes and it was unable to get past this message - no graphical desktop was ever loaded. Looking at /var/log/boot.log, I noticed the following: first boot: failed to a open connection to a session manager, so window positions will not be saved: SESSION_MANAGER environment variable not defined. My hardware is pretty standard. I am running the following: Pentium IV 1.8 GHz CPU ATI Rage All-in-Wonder 128 4x AGP TMDS Sony CD-RW CRX215E1 Advansys SCSI Host Adapter (no devices connected) Western Digital ATA/100 80 GB drive (WDC WD800JB-00CRA1) I have the machine setup as dual boot with Windows XP using 73 GB and Fedora Core 1 using 7 GB. Boot partition is 100 MB, swap is 1 GB and "/" is mounted on a 5.9 GB partition. Previously, I thought the problem might be with my swap space, since when I boot into linux using the boot disk using "linux init=/bin/bash rw", the system couldn't write to the swap partition (evident when I tried to edit some of the config files). I repartitioned my hard drive putting the swap partition before the root ("/") and re-installed Fedora Core 1 but the result was the same. I noticed that my drive has 5 partitions and when using Disk Druid, the last (5th) partition shows up as an extended partition and is marked as (Win95) and the directly below this (sharing the same address space) is the ext3 root partition. This seems like a fairly serious error and it would be great to see this bug squashed. Let me know what additional information you might need.
Ken: The firstboot warning message is nothing to be concerned about. Metacity is looking for a desktop session manager and it isn't finding one because no desktop is running. That should not affect the behavior at all. The rest of the issues seem to be kernel related.
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/
