The software: kernel-2.6.17-1.2583.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-fbdev-0.3.0-1.1 The hardware: Broadwater x86_64 box Standard minimal X config, with driver 'fbdev'. How to reproduce: 1. Boot with "vga=794 single" 2. At single user mode, enter "echo -n '3' > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate" 3. Exit single user mode. Wait for X to start What happens: System hangs. Can't ssh in, etc. sysrq works, but doesn't go to the logs. Additional info: Booting with "vga=794 fbcon=rotate:3" works. Doing "echo -n "3" > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate_all" from runlevel 3 then starting X works.
# mount -o remount,sync / and then try to start X with the crashy command sequence above. That should at least tell us where in the startup process X hangs.
When remounted in sync mode, there is no xorg.log written.
Reassigning to correct owner, kernel-maint.
