From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: The system freezes while executing the scripts (apparently randomly) in init.d , except when in single user mode (1) or when the scripts are executed interatively. Even after booting in mode 1, it also freezes if run init 3 or 5. No apparent reason since the scripts in rc1.d and rc3.d are essentially the same, the only difference being single (1) and local (3). Don't know if it may have anything to do with the kind of disk (SATA) in the machine or the BIOS RAID, since this error doesn't occur in our notebook with same fedora version. We have a SIS964 chipset (automatically detected) that controls two SATA disks in RAID 1 (mirroring) mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot 'my machine' in mode 3 or 5 2. 3. Actual Results: system freezes during init Expected Results: normal boot Additional info:
Any kernel messages? Normally a complete system freeze is a kernel or hardware issue.
No kernel message in any case. I don't know if it is a hardware issue since it initializes safely when in single user mode (init 1).
I have a very similar problem. I just upgraded from FC2 and didn't have any problems there. When you get an OK for Starting lm_sensors the screen goes black with some colourful dots. It returns in a while showing that it has executed rc.local but then it is very frozen indeed. If I push ctrl-alt-bs (or del?) the northwestern quarter of the screen goes black but I still have to press reset. If I boot to single first and continue from there there are no problems. Then there is also no text-in-graphics mode at the point where things should be starting to go wrong.
Removing rhgb from /etc/grub.conf solved my problem.
I have a similar problem: Last working kernel version: 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 The system freezes during init with ALL NEWER kernel versions (2.6.10-1.766_FC3 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 2.6.11-1.14_FC3) usually right after "Enabling swap". (Actually I have no swap space, so it does nothing.) No log in messages. System: AMD Athlon XP 2200 MSI K7N2 Delta-L BIOS version: W6570MS V5.8 I have built 2.6.11.9 and it works! (Config was read from config-2.6.11-1.14_FC3) I think it must be a fedora kernel build problem.
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you.
