Description of problem: Since my upgrade from Fedora Core 6 to Fedora 7, the ISDN startup script hangs during boot (or when manually started by service isdn start). The problem seems to relate to a failure to load the kernel module, but the boot sequence never "gives up" on this, preventing boot. As a workaround, I have moved /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S09isdn to bu-S09isdn, so as to prevent loading of those modules. Of course, this leaves ISDN unavailable. I will cut and paste the error message in a separate post here, as "service isdn start" run a second time simply dies at "unloading ISDN modules" without giving more detailed information. The card is a Fritz! PCI v2.0 ISDN. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): isdn4k-utils-3.2-54.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot computer 2. 3. Actual results: Error is generated, followed by [FAILED] message, followed by another series of error messages. Boot hangs at this point. Expected results: Normal booting with ISDN modules available. Additional info:
Here is the promised error log: [nalbad80@studienpraefekt ~]$ sudo service isdn start Password: /etc/init.d/isdn: line 112: 3315 Killed modprobe $MODULE $RESOURCES > /dev/null 2>&1 Loading ISDN modules [FAILED] Message from syslogd@ at Wed Jun 20 10:56:25 2007 ... studienpraefekt kernel: Oops: 0010 [1] SMP Message from syslogd@ at Wed Jun 20 10:56:26 2007 ... studienpraefekt kernel: CR2: 0000000000000000

I solved the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the modem. Something went funny in the upgrade process, apparently. At least for me, this issue is closed, but perhaps needs to be checked for the future.
