Actual Results: it froze while seeking a server Expected Results: it does not crash or lockup Additional info:
Created attachment 99297 [details] dmesg log attached here is the mesg log. do you need any other logs?
not much to see in the log; does this still happen if you pass selinux=0 on the kernel commandline? (type "a" in grub to add this)
yes, i have been doing that for the last several updates, here is what is in grub.conf. I also had to remove rhgb since it seem to be causing crashes. Shouldn't the kernel stay up regardless of other things crashing (i.e. X etc.) #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.315) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.315 ro root=LABEL=/ selinux=0 initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.315.img #title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.309) # root (hd1,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.309 ro root=LABEL=/ selinux=0 # initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.309.img #title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.308) # root (hd1,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.308 ro root=LABEL=/ selinux=0 # initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.308.img #title Fedora Core (2.6.4-1.305) # root (hd1,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.4-1.305 ro root=LABEL=/ selinux=0 # initrd /initrd-2.6.4-1.305.img #title Fedora Core (2.6.4-1.303) # root (hd1,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.4-1.303 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet # initrd /initrd-2.6.4-1.303.img
OK--just was browsing about the internet and the browser and cursor locked up. Tried alt-ctl-backspace to reboot X--but no go. Tried Ctl-Alt-Delete to reboot system but -- no go. Had to do a hard shutdown. Then reboot and got to the part where the login screen is supposed to appear and the machine just freezes--did this several time and the same result. Had to modify grub upon boot to go back to kernel version 309 to get the system to boot. What files do you need to diagnose?
May have something to do with this taken from the system log file??: Apr 10 11:08:26 localhost mdmpd: mdmpd failed
