From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: After install, and a reboot, the boot process displays pages and pages of error messages, eventually hanging in what seems to be an infinite loop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Load Fedora Core 2, Test Release 2 2.Reboot Actual Results: After install, and a reboot, the boot process hangs in what appears to be an infinite loop. Here's a sample message that eventually is displayed on the screen: INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes audit(1081617221.366:0) avc: denied { getattr } for pid=1 exe=/sbin/init path=/dev/initctl dev=hda7 ino=567904 scontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t tclass=chr_file this message will loop with "{ write }" and "{ read write }" as well. I've gone into "rescue mode" and changed the run level to 3, and 2. This makes no difference. I've also tried starting the kernel with nousb, and nofirewire. Expected Results: A clean startup... although I didn't expect the GUI to be able to start, as is didn't in FC1. Who decided to do away with the "text/Graphical startup" option in the installer? I don't like booting into the gui, and it's a pain when I need to boot into "rescue" mode to change inittab's runlevel to 3 every time I reinstall. Additional info: Here are the specs of my system: Shuttle SN41G2 (nforce2 chipset based) Athlon 2800+ 1GB RAM Radeon 9800pro 120GB Samsung ATA100 HD 8x4x32 BTC DVD+-/RW+- Logitech MX cordless Duo 18" LCD display attached via DVI I thought that it might be the nforce chipset, so I attempted to rebuild the driver src rpm under rescue mode, but wasn't able to.
This appears to be your filesystem not getting labelled. What filesystem did you install on?
I installed with EXT3... here's how my partitions are laid out: 1) 99GB (windows) 2) 2GB (windows swap) 3) 20GB (Fedora)
Any thoughts??
Other than "does test3" work - nope.
Test 3 does work... I installed it last night. So whatever it was, got fixed. I'm now struggling through some src rpm rebuilding issues, but that should be in another ticket. Thanks for the effort! -Kalle
I'd also like to thank whomever fixed the issue which was preventing me from automatically booting into KDE after the initial install. :) It was nice not to need to go into rescue-mode to change the boot runlevel... for some reason I've always had that issue with my ATI cards. Ah well. You saved me a reboot. :) I still don't like booting into the GUI, but I'm more than happy to have it set that way as default if I can change the run level to multiuser mode without much hassle.
