Description of problem: Aquired FC3 DVD from Issue 50, Jan 2005, Linux Magazine, www.linux-magazine.com Comes with kernel 2.6 and updating works well unless you add the kernel update to the list. Causes it to stop loading the reboot, when the loading gets to cups. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
It is a kernel up2date from: 2.6.9-1.667 to: 2.6.10-1.760_FC3.i686.rpm I believe the cups hang-up is reproducible by running up2date and then rebooting, while having no printer connected to a home desktop computer. (eMachine T2792, 2.70GHz Intel Celeron, 256MB DDR) Additionally, when it hangs up, if you control+alt-delete several times, it will pass cups and continue till it gets to swap and hang-up again. Then if you control+alt+delete again, it causes a long scroll of memory failures, ending with ram out of memory... and no way to shut down other than kill switch or turning off power source. ...but rebooting the pre-upgrade older kernel works fine with no probs.
Please note that its not just up2date it is also YUM or any other way of aquiring the packages.
I think this is the same bug as 144726. I get this problem as well - working around by disabling cups on every boot. There's a suggested fix at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/history/278391 but this doesn't seem to help me - can anyone else get it to work?
This sounds like bug #146472 which may be related to bug #127174 or bug #144726
