Description of problem: I have FC5t2 (updated from t1 with yum) and I have problems booting with kernel-2.6.15-1.1863_FC5. I cannot boot, kernel oopses when starting udev. Last working kernel was kernel-2.6.15-1.1826.2.9_FC5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.15-1.1863_FC5 udev-078-4 How reproducible: Oopses in every boot with newer kernel than 2.6.15-1.1826.2.9_FC5. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install udev-078-4 2. Install kernel that is newer than 2.6.15-1.1826.2.9_FC5 3. reboot and wait until udev is started Actual results: Kernel oopses when udev is loaded, system does not start Expected results: Udev starts normally and system starts Additional info: See attachment
Created attachment 123582 [details] Kernel oops recorded from serial console
Created attachment 123765 [details] output from serial console at boot I see a freeze at "Starting udev:_" where the VGA cursor stops blinking, but there is no Oops displayed, not even on serial console (serial console log attached.) <Alt><SysRq>T (or any other magic command) does nothing. kernel-2.6.15-1.1826.2.10_FC5 was the last kernel that booted OK. Everything since then, including the present kernel-2.6.15-1.1872_FC5, freezes at "Starting udev:_". initscripts-8.21-1 udev-078-7
*** Bug 179075 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
should be fixed in todays build
Yes, kernel-2.6.15-1.1895_FC5 does start now without oops, but udev does not start and thus some devices such as my dvb-t card does not work. When I boot with kernel-2.6.15-1.1826.2.9_FC5, udev starts ok. Udev version is udev-078-8. Any way to find out what udev is doing during the startup and why it's not starting?
like commment... s. attachement

if udev is doing something incorrectly, please file a separate udev bug.
seems to be fixed with 2.6.15-1.1907, but driver looks like in comment 7. dvb-t works: catured mpegs with dvbtools ! dvb-t module is loaded, but it can't be seen, when computer starts, like in FC4 !
