Description Jonathan Kamens 2005-12-01 03:34:41 UTC 
I got this while upgrading a bunch of packages, including upgrading
SysVinit-2.85-40 to 2.85-42:

 397:SysVinit		    ########################################### [ 60%]
telinit: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2005-12-01 18:46:10 UTC 
Assuming normal system, no chroot, etc?
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2005-12-01 18:48:13 UTC 
Also, selinux?
Comment 3 Jonathan Kamens 2005-12-01 19:49:40 UTC 
Normal system.  Selinux disabled.
Comment 4 Will Woods 2006-07-10 21:51:14 UTC 
This happens in FC6-Test2-re20060709.7 during install:

Error(s) installing: SysVinit 2.86 4 i386
telinit: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2006-07-11 16:55:39 UTC 
[ -x /sbin/telinit -a -p /dev/initctl -a -f /proc/1/exe -a -d /proc/1/root ] &&
/sbin/telinit u
exit 0

Hm, there's no way that should be valid during install.
Comment 6 Jesse Keating 2006-07-20 21:20:57 UTC 
I am not able to replicate this with a clean install of FC5.90.1-re20060719.0.

Will, was yours a clean install, or an upgrade?
Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2006-08-10 19:22:12 UTC 
Fixed in SysVinit-2.86-11.

All together now, "packaging fifos in /dev is silly."
Comment 8 David Lawrence 2007-06-22 02:11:40 UTC 
Package name is now sysvinit in Fedora.
