Description of problem: After first kernel update and up to the latest, when booting F10 I get: Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map could not start boot splash: No such device Then the cursor just blink one line below the last character (as if got just a LF) and nothing happens until the graphical login screen appears. Otherwise the system works fine. When I am doing shutdown or restart, I also see only the above text (probably hanging there from the boot time). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub-0.97-38.fc10.i386 kernel-2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot the machine 2. 3. Actual results: as in description above Expected results: booting progress displayed Additional info: -- excerpt from grub.conf -- # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,5) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda6 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=7 splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz #hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686) root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=85ad8106- b8bd-4757-8d66-c00b71c91cf7 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686.img savedefault ------------------------------------------------------------- Surely enough, the /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz is there in perfect condition. Commenting out that line does not help.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'. 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 10'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 10 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 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 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.
