From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040929 Description of problem: Since current rhgb displays fsck progress in the rhgb window, it is now safe to switch back to rhgb after the prompt is answered or times out. Ideally, the prompt should be displayed in rhgb itself. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhgb-0.13.5-1 initscripts-7.85-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Reboot uncleanly Actual Results: rhgb go away for the `force file system check' prompt and never come back Expected Results: rc.sysinit should switch back to vt8 before starting the actual fsck, or not switch to vt1 if we could prompt through rhgb Additional info:
DV says we probably can't feed initscripts any input, so it's tricky to move the prompt into rhgb. My suggestion is to intercept the prompt, open a dialogue in rhgb, and store the result in a file in /etc/rhgb that rc.sysinit would look for.
Fixed in 7.91-1, in that it switches back to rhgb after the fsck finishes. More complicated fixes later. :)
