Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 212109
kobject_add failed for vcs1 with -EEXIST
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:29:14 EST
Description of problem: When booting, agpgart complains that it has detected an unsupported ALi chipset and as the system attempts to go into a graphical boot it fails. It then stops booting after "Enabling /etc/fstab swaps" spitting out a kernel error: "kobject_add failed for vcs1 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory." I have a Radeon x1600 agp video card and a GIGABYTE GA-K8U Socket 754 ULi M1689 ATX AMD Motherboard. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Stock FC6 kernel and FC6xen How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC6 on aforementioned hardware. 2. Attempt to boot into the installed system. Actual results: Kernel error and failed boot. Expected results: Successfully boot into FC6 and enjoy the goodness. Additional info: The installation was fresh and went without a hitch. I did an http install off of a boot.iso mini-image.
I saw this once quite a while ago, and couldn't figure out what triggered it. Is this reproducable every time you boot ?
Yes, this is reproducible with every reboot after the initial install. I have also attempted to install FC6 via dvd as an attempt to narrow things down more with the same result. I've run FC5 on this system with no problems in the past.
I tried Fedora Unity's respin of fc6, no luck.
