From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/20020508 Netscape6/6.2.3 Description of problem: When logging out of kde desktop, system hangs. every few minutes, see this message... INIT: ld "x" respawning too fast Have to reset system to recover.. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login to kde 2. logout of kde 3. wait for messages to appear on console Actual Results: System hangs, with a repeated message, evey few minutes INIT: ld "x" respawing too fast... Expected Results: Logout to login screen Additional info: I have ALL etarra applied, as of 7/09/2002... This just started happening, so maybe it is related to psmisc module, although I tried backing off to previous version without any luck.
I tried to narrow this thing down a bit. Backed off applied modules to previous versions-releases: 1. psmisc 2. glibc, glibc-common, glibc-devel, glibc-kernheaders 3. ucd-snmp, ucd-snmp-utils 4. nscd Following each module, backoff, I reboot system, logged into kde, and attempted loggout.. ALL still hung.. Went back further and found kernel was previously updated to, 18-4 -> 18.5. Tried the i586 arch version of the 18-5 kernel on my i686 machine, but system still hung at logout. Finally, backed off kernel to 18-4 (i686) and logout no longer hangs. So seems something to do with the kerenl on faster machines. My i686 is a piii 733. I also have AMD k62 500 system which has no problem with the new kernel 18-5. I wonder if this a symptom of large problem(s). I'm changing component to kernel, from ld.so
Is this an i810/i815 video chipset? If so it's a known issue recently fixed: http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/testkernels
Yes it is i815 chip set.. I've loaded your 18-5e kerenl and it addresses the problem mentioned in this report. Please duplicate this to any existing bug, as needed.. I'll look forward to the next released kernel.. Thanks; Rob
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
