Description of problem: After successfully installing FC2 test3 on Virtual PC 2004, I rebooted. Immediately after init started, I was dumped to the text- mode login (though the system should be trying to reach runlevel 5). Console output is included below. Changing inittab to boot to runlevel 3 gets rid of the X error messages, but still nothing from rc.sysinit seems to run. I've installed twice, with the exact same results both times. The only processes running are: [root@(none) root]# ps -A PID TTY TIME CMD 1 ? 00:00:08 init 2 ? 00:00:00 ksoftirqd/0 3 ? 00:00:00 events/0 4 ? 00:00:00 kblockd/0 6 ? 00:00:00 pdflush 5 ? 00:00:00 khubd 7 ? 00:00:00 pdflush 9 ? 00:00:00 aio/0 8 ? 00:00:00 kswapd0 10 ? 00:00:00 kseriod 14 ? 00:00:00 kjournald 21 tty3 00:00:00 mingetty 24 tty6 00:00:00 mingetty 26 ? 00:00:01 login 27 tty2 00:00:00 mingetty 31 tty4 00:00:00 mingetty 32 tty5 00:00:00 mingetty 104 tty1 00:00:00 bash 134 tty1 00:00:00 ps Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 2 of 2 times Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC2 test3 on Virtual PC 2004 2. Reboot machine 3. Notice init begin to start, then dump you to text-mode login Actual results: 1. init doesn't appear to run anything in rc.sysinit 2. Dumped to text-mode login prompt 3. Most commands segfault intermittently Expected results: 1. init should start something :) 2. firstboot should run 3. Graphical startup Additional info:

This looks like a virtual pc bug in how it emulates the CPU.
