Description Kazunori Asayama 2008-09-23 20:18:34 UTC
Description of problem:

The system stalls while rebooting after text mode installation.

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

anaconda-11.4.1.39-1
boot.iso 2008.09.23 UTC

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do text mode installation.
2. Reboot.
  
Actual results:

The system stalls during reboot process after text mode installation. The progress bar seems to reach the right end of the screen, but no more progress.

If I manually switch to run level 3 *after graphical mode installation* by editing /etc/inittab, the system can normally boot.

I don't think this is the same as Bug 458553. The progress bar becomes entirely white and reach the right end of the screen. I tried this with the latest (2008.09.23) boot image (anaconda-11.4.1.39-1). Is this really the same as Bug 458553 ?

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2008-09-23 20:38:31 UTC
Yes, yes it is.  The firstboot that fixes this bug is not in the latest Fedora tree.  You need firstboot-1.100-1.  If you hit escape or some other key when you've got the fully white progress bar, you should see the text firstboot interface.

Comment 4 Kazunori Asayama 2008-09-23 20:48:10 UTC
No, I can't see firstboot UI, even if I hit escape or any other key...

Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2008-09-23 22:51:57 UTC
Please grab the latest firstboot packages for your architecture from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=62883 and let me know if this solves the problem for you.  If so, this is definitely a duplicate of 458553.  If not, I'm going to need a lot more information in order to reproduce this problem.

Comment 6 Kazunori Asayama 2008-09-24 05:25:48 UTC
I found the system behaves as you are saying if I press any key *just* after the bar becomes white. OK, I'll try the new firstboot.

Comment 7 Kazunori Asayama 2008-09-24 05:38:06 UTC
It works with the latest firstboot! Thank you. So will the new firstboot be included in F10?

Comment 8 Chris Lumens 2008-09-24 13:43:37 UTC
Yes, definitely.  Probably not in the beta though.
