Description David Wilson 2008-05-02 16:49:26 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC9-Preview

How reproducible:
Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kill any text tty
2. It doesnt restart
3. Look at inittab in /etc to see what is missing
  
Actual results:
It's broke!

Expected results:
Text ttys don't respawn.  They should.


Additional info:

This is the only relevant line in the FC9-preview inittab file:

id:5:initdefault:


It needs these lines:


# System initialization.
si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6

# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now

# When our UPS tells us power has failed, assume we have a few minutes
# of power left.  Schedule a shutdown for 2 minutes from now.
# This does, of course, assume you have powerd installed and your
# UPS connected and working correctly.  
pf::powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -f -h +2 "Power Failure; System Shutting Down"

# If power was restored before the shutdown kicked in, cancel it.
pr:12345:powerokwait:/sbin/shutdown -c "Power Restored; Shutdown Cancelled"


But Wait... there is more...

I would suggest going back to any recent flavor and copying the rest of the
inittab file.  

This needs to be fixed before release of FC9

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2008-05-02 16:55:55 UTC
Please read the comments at the top of the inittab file.

Comment 2 David Wilson 2008-05-02 17:01:08 UTC
Since the text screens don't reinitialize, could you please send a clue bat so I
can fix it to use the text screens without having to reinit the ttys?  Where did
that go?

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2008-05-02 17:10:49 UTC
How did you upgrade?

Comment 4 David Wilson 2008-05-03 01:33:43 UTC
This box was upgraded with the FC9 Preview live iso last Friday (Apr 25).  Only
partition that was kept as is was the /home partition.

This was the install log from another machine with the same problem.

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2008-05-05 16:02:37 UTC
I need upgrade.log as well; it should be in a similar place on the filesystem.

yum upgrade log

Comment 8 Bill Nottingham 2008-05-05 17:04:02 UTC
OK, I *believe* this is due to event-compat-sysv accidentally still being in the
tree. This should be fixed when upgrading to F9 final.
