Description of problem: Cannot boot Fedora release 9 (Rawhide) with rhgb present on the kernel boot line. The boot process will freeze at trying to start GDM. Once rhgb is removed then the boot process will proceed as expected to the gui login screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot the Machine 2. 3. Actual results: Machine will hard lock / freeze immediately before the appearance of the gui login Expected results: Boot process should proceed as expected Additional info: I have been running Alpha since it was released and this issue has only just appeared with the updates of the last several days. I have attached the Xorg.0.log and dmesg log from a boot where the rhgb was removed from the kernel boot line.
Created attachment 304040 [details] Xorg.0.log and dmesg log from a boot where the rhgb was removed
Created attachment 304043 [details] dmesg and xorg log with rhgb present in the kernel boot line
Created attachment 304585 [details] xorg and dmesg using the nouveau driver
Same happens here: spontaneous reboot right before login screen (first boot after power-on); system freeze before login screen ( after rebooting ). login is also possible putting "Driver = vesa" in xorg.conf even with rhgb enabled, while freeze occur with "Driver = nv".
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I have this problem in the released Fedora 9 with a Dell D630 Latitude, when using a docking station and an external monitor only. Does not occur for me when using laptop screen directly.
David, please, attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
