From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020314 Description of problem: The machine completely locks up, when starting the initscript cups No remote login possible Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. running redhat-switch-printer to switch to the cups printing system 2. starting /etc/init.d/cups Actual Results: system hangs Expected Results: printdeamon cups should be ready to run Additional info: cups worked since RHL 7.0 without any issues, I've never experienced such a problem with cups. The actual rpm-version of cups is cups-1.1.14-12
Works here... Can you reproduce it on another machine if you connect it to the same printer?
On another machine with the same printer cups starts without crashing. But the printing process hangs after some % with the message USB port busy, whatever that means
Was the crashing machine SMP by chance?
No - a Celeron 1 GHz machine on an ASUS CUSL2-C mainboard
Problem resolved after an update to kernel 2.4.18-0.26 and cups 1.1.14-15 - may another package could also be involved - it was an update with the rpms from today Thanks, Joachim
